I will be more careful. I'm sorry. Can I still print a lion?" + +Mom smiles and she says, "Yes, you can still print a lion. But first, you have to help me clean up this mess. And then, you have to say sorry to the book." + +Tom helps Mom clean up the mess and he says sorry to the book. He finds a blank sheet of paper and he prints a lion.

You have so many toys to share!" + +"But we both want the fire truck, Mom!" Ben and Sam say. + +Mom smiles and says, "I have an idea. Why don't we use the measure to see how long the fire truck is? Then we can cut the fire truck in half and give each of you a piece. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Sam look at each other. They look at the fire truck. They look at the measure.

We want to keep the fire truck whole!" + +Mom nods and says, "I see. Well, then you have to learn to yield and take turns. You can play with the fire truck for a little while, and then you have to give it to your friend. That way, you can both enjoy the fire truck and be happy.

But today they had a new idea. They wanted to pretend they were chefs. + +They picked some vegetables from the garden. They had carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and beans. They washed them in a bucket of water. Then they found some pots and pans and spoons and forks. They set up a table and chairs under a big tree. + +"Welcome to our restaurant!" Emma said to Leo. "What would you like to eat?" + +Leo looked at the menu that Emma had drawn with a crayon. He was very enthusiastic. He liked to try new things. + +"I would like the carrot soup, please," he said. + +"Coming right up!" Emma said. She put some carrots in a pot and pretended to cook them over a fire.

It was cold and crunchy and not very tasty. + +"Is something wrong?" Emma asked. + +Leo did not want to hurt Emma's feelings. He knew she had worked hard to make the soup. He smiled and said, "No, it's delicious. Thank you." + +Emma was happy. She said, "You're welcome. Would you like some tomato salad next?" + +Leo nodded. He hoped the salad would be better than the soup. He did not know that Emma had a surprise for him. She had hidden a worm in one of the tomatoes. She thought it would be funny to see Leo's reaction. She did not know that Leo had a surprise for her too. He had found a snail in the lettuce. He thought it would be funny to see Emma's reaction. + +They both served each other the salad. They both took a bite. They both screamed. They both saw the worm and the snail. They both dropped their forks. They both ran away from the table. + +They looked at each other. They were both scared and disgusted. But then they started to laugh. They realized they had played a prank on each other. They hugged and said, "Sorry." + +They decided to play something else. They did not want to pretend they were chefs anymore. They wanted to pretend they were astronauts. They found some cardboard boxes and some tin foil. They made a rocket and a helmet. They blasted off to the moon. They had more fun than ever. They forgot about the vegetables. They left them on the table. + +The next day, they came back to the garden. They saw the vegetables.

She drew pictures of flowers, stars, rainbows and hearts. She kept her diary in a secret place under her bed. + +One day, Jill went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a merry-go-round. She wanted to play with everything. She ran to the slide and slid down. She laughed and clapped her hands. Then she ran to the swing and asked her dad to push her. She swung high and low. She felt like a bird. Then she ran to the sandbox and made a castle with a bucket and a shovel. She decorated it with shells and stones. Then she ran to the merry-go-round and asked her mom to spin her. She felt dizzy and happy. + +While she was playing, she did not see a little boy wander to her bag. He was curious and bored. He opened her bag and saw her diary. He took it out and looked at it. He saw her words and pictures. He did not understand them. He thought they were silly. He tore some pages and threw them away. He scribbled on some pages and made them dirty. He laughed and snorted. He did not care. + +Jill finished playing and went back to her bag. She saw her diary in the boy's hands. She saw what he did to it. She felt angry and sad. She shouted at him. + +"Hey, that's mine! Give it back! You are bad! You ruined it!" + +The boy was scared and surprised. He dropped the diary and ran away. He did not say sorry. + +Jill picked up her diary and hugged it.

They were proud of her. + +"Can I mail my medal to Grandma?" Lily asked. "She lives far away. She will like it." + +Mom smiled. "That is very kind of you, Lily. But maybe Grandma would like a picture of you and your medal better. Then you can keep your medal and remember your race." + +Lily liked that idea. She got her crayons and paper. She drew herself with her medal. She wrote her name and "I love you, Grandma" on the paper. Mom helped her put the picture in an envelope.

They had a big ball that they threw to each other. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. Then they ran after it and laughed. + +One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He had a book and a dog. The dog was white and fluffy and had a black spot on his ear. Ben and Lily wondered what his name was and if he wanted to play. + +They went to the bench and said hello. The boy did not look at them or say anything. He kept reading his book. The dog wagged his tail and licked their hands. + +"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Lily. We are twins. What's your name?" Ben asked. + +The boy did not answer. He turned a page. + +"Can we play with your dog? He is very cute. Does he have a name?" Lily asked. + +The boy did not answer. He smiled at his book. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They thought the boy was rude and did not like them. They took their ball and went to another part of the park. + +The boy's mother came to the bench. She saw Ben and Lily playing with their ball. She smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, I'm sorry my son did not talk to you. He is deaf. He can't hear you. He likes to read and play with his dog. His name is Sam and his dog's name is Spot. Do you want to come and meet him?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for the boy. They wondered what it was like to be deaf. They nodded and went to the bench. + +The mother showed them how to say hello and their names with their hands. She also showed them how to say Sam and Spot. The boy looked at them and smiled.

They said goodbye and hugged. They hoped to see him again soon. +Lily and Ben were camping with their dad in the woods. They had a big tent where they slept at night. They liked to explore the trees and the animals during the day. + +One evening, it was very cold and windy. Lily and Ben felt bitter in their noses and ears. They wanted to go inside the tent and be warm. But their dad said they had to help him wrap some wood for the fire. + +"But dad, we are cold and tired!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +"I know, my loves, but we need the wood to keep us warm and cook our food. If we work together, we will finish faster. And then we can cuddle in the tent and have hot chocolate. Can you help me, please?" their dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They loved their dad and wanted to make him happy. They helped him wrap the wood with some rope and carry it to the fire pit. They worked hard and fast. They felt proud of themselves. + +Soon, they had a nice fire that made them feel cozy and warm. They went inside the tent and wrapped themselves in blankets. Their dad gave them hot chocolate and read them a story. They smiled and hugged him. + +"Thank you for helping me, Lily and Ben. You are very brave and kind. I love you very much," their dad said. + +"We love you too, dad. And we are sorry for complaining. We learned that helping others is good and makes us happy," Lily and Ben said. + +They kissed their dad good night and fell asleep in the tent, dreaming of more adventures. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, dolls, blocks and animals. One day, they decided to pretend they were in a big city and drove their cars around the floor. + +"Beep beep! I am a taxi!" Max said, holding a yellow car. "Where do you want to go?" + +"I want to go to the park!" Lily said, holding a pink car. "Can you take me there, please?" + +"Sure, hop in!" Max said, being polite. He moved his car next to Lily's and made engine noises. + +They drove around the floor, avoiding the blocks and animals. They had fun and laughed a lot. But then, they saw a big problem. Their baby brother, Sam, had crawled into their room and was grabbing their toys. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "That's our park!" + +Sam did not listen. He threw the blocks and animals in the air. He bit the dolls and cars. He destroyed their toys. + +"Sam, no!" Max yelled. "That's our taxi!" + +Sam did not care. He smashed the yellow car with his fist. He broke it into pieces. + +Lily and Max were very sad and angry. They ran to their mom and told her what Sam did. + +"Sam destroyed our toys!" they cried. "He broke our taxi!" + +Mom was sorry. She hugged Lily and Max and said she would buy them new toys. She also said she would teach Sam to be polite and not destroy things. + +Lily and Max felt a little better. They hoped Sam would learn to play nicely. They also hoped they would get a new taxi soon. +Anna liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room. She learned how to press the keys and make sounds. Sometimes she sang along with the sounds. + +One day, her friend Ben came to visit. He wanted to play the piano too. He asked Anna if he could try. Anna said yes, but she told him to be careful. + +Ben sat on the piano bench and started to press the keys. He pressed them very hard and very fast. He made a lot of noise. Anna did not like the noise. She asked him to stop. + +"No, I like it. It is fun. Listen, I can reverse the sounds. Look, I press this key and then this one and then this one again. It sounds funny." Ben said. + +Anna did not think it was funny. She thought it was rude. She wanted to play the piano her way. She said to Ben, "Stop it. You are hurting the piano. The piano is not a toy. It is a reliable friend. It makes beautiful sounds. You are making ugly sounds. Please stop." + +Ben did not listen. He kept pressing the keys. He did not care about Anna or the piano. He only cared about himself. + +Anna got angry. She got up from the bench and pushed Ben away. She said, "Go away. You are not my friend. You are a bad boy. You do not know how to play the piano. You do not know how to be nice. Go away." + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect Anna to push him. He felt sad and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt the piano or you. I just wanted to have fun. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry too. I should not have pushed you. But you should not have played the piano like that. It is not fun. It is mean. Can you play the piano nicely?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I can. I will play the piano nicely. I will listen to you and learn from you. You are a good friend. You are a good piano player." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are a good learner.

Sara likes to play with dolls and Tom likes to play with cars. + +One day, Sara and Tom are bored. They have no new toys and no friends to visit. They look at their room and think it is too gray and dull. + +"I have an idea," Tom says. "Let's lie to Mom and Dad. Let's tell them we are sick and we need new toys to feel better." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She knows lying is bad, but she also wants new toys. She nods and says, "Okay, let's do it." + +They go to the kitchen where Mom and Dad are. They pretend to cough and sneeze and say they have a fever. Mom and Dad are worried. They touch their foreheads and feel they are warm. They don't know Tom and Sara put hot water bottles under their pillows to make them hot. + +"Oh, my poor babies," Mom says. "You need to rest in your room. We will bring you some soup and medicine." + +"And some new toys," Tom adds quickly. + +Mom and Dad look at each other. They think something is strange, but they don't want to upset their children. They say they will see what they can do and send them to their room. + +Sara and Tom are happy. They think they tricked Mom and Dad and they will get new toys soon. They go to their room and wait. + +But after a while, they hear a knock on the door. It is not Mom and Dad. It is a man in a white coat. He has a bag with him. He says he is a doctor and he came to check on them. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They don't want to see a doctor. They don't want to get shots or pills. They realize they made a big mistake. They lied to Mom and Dad and now they have to face the consequences. + +They start to cry and confess.

They tell them they can keep their room as it is, because it is their room and they can make it beautiful with their imagination. + +Sara and Tom feel ashamed and grateful. They promise to never lie again. They thank Mom and Dad and the doctor. They go back to their room and play with their dolls and cars. They think their room is not so gray and dull after all.

They said they would swap animals for a day. Lila would ride the horse and Ben would feed the goat. They were very excited to try something new. + +The next day, they met at the farm. Lila gave Ben a bag of grass and Ben gave Lila a helmet. They said goodbye to their animals and went to their new ones. Lila climbed on the horse and Ben walked to the goat. + +Lila was a little scared of the horse. He was very big and strong. She held the reins tightly and tried to make him go.

He gave him some grass and tried to pet him. But the goat did not like it. He did not want to be touched or played with. He only wanted to eat and sleep.

They decided to break their promise. They ran to each other and swapped back their animals. They hugged and apologized. + +They learned that sometimes it is better to be flexible and try new things, but sometimes it is also good to stick to what you love and know. They rode the horse and fed the goat together, and had a lot of fun. They were best friends again. +Lily liked to write. She wrote with crayons on paper, with sticks in the sand, with fingers on the window. She wrote her name, her mom's name, her dog's name. She wrote big and small, fast and slow, happy and sad. + +One day, she went to the pond with her mom and her dog. The pond was amazing. It had water and fish and ducks and frogs. Lily wanted to write something for the pond. She looked for a stick, but she could not find one. She looked for a rock, but they were too heavy. She looked for a leaf, but they were too wet. + +She saw a duck swimming by. She had an idea. She ran to the duck and said, "Hello, duck. Can I write on you?" The duck was surprised. It said, "Quack, quack, no, no. You can't write on me. I'm not paper. I'm a duck. Go away, go away." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to hurt the duck. She just wanted to write something nice. She said, "Sorry, duck. I won't write on you. But can you help me? I need something to write on. Do you know where I can find something?" + +The duck thought for a moment. It said, "Quack, quack, yes, yes. I know something. Follow me, follow me." The duck swam to the other side of the pond. Lily followed with her mom and her dog. The duck stopped at a big log. It said, "Quack, quack, here, here. You can write on this. It's wood. It's smooth. It's dry." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, duck. You are very kind. You are very smart. You are my friend." She found a stick and wrote on the log. She wrote, "Lily loves the pond. Lily loves the duck." The duck saw what she wrote and smiled. It said, "Quack, quack, you're welcome, you're welcome. I love the pond too. I love you too. You are my friend." + +Lily hugged the duck. Her mom took a picture. Her dog barked. They all had a good time at the amazing pond. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They observe the birds, the flowers and the people. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big sign in the park. It has many words on it. Tom and Anna do not know what the words mean. They are curious. + +They ask a lady who is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She looks kind and friendly. + +"Excuse me, lady. What does the sign say?" Tom asks. + +The lady smiles and puts down her book. She points to the sign. + +"It is a message for everyone who comes to the park. It says: 'Please keep the park clean and tidy. Do not litter or damage the plants and animals. Thank you for your cooperation.' Do you understand?" she explains. + +Tom and Anna nod. They understand. They think it is a good message. + +"Thank you, lady. We will follow the message. We love the park and we want to keep it nice." Anna says. + +The lady nods and praises them. + +"You are very welcome, children. You are very kind and responsible. I am glad you enjoy the park. Have a good day." she says. + +Tom and Anna thank her again and wave goodbye. They continue to play in the park. They observe the beauty around them. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big sock in their room. It was red and green and had a funny face on it. They thought it was a puppet and put it on their hand. + +They made the sock talk and wave to each other. They pretended it was a friend who came to visit them. They had fun with the sock and laughed a lot. + +But then, their mom came in and saw the sock. She was not happy. She said, "That is not a puppet, that is my sock! You are naughty children, you took it from my drawer. Give it back to me right now!" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know it was their mom's sock. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to be naughty." + +Their mom was kind and understood. She said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take something that is not yours. And don't forget to wave goodbye to the sock." + +Lily and Tom waved goodbye to the sock and gave it back to their mom. They hugged her and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for the sock." + +The end. +Lily and her mom were going on a big plane to see grandma. Lily was very happy and excited. She packed her teddy bear and her favorite book in her backpack. Mom packed her clothes and her passport in her suitcase. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily said. "Let's go!" + +They got in the car and drove to the airport. There were many people and noises there. Lily held Mom's hand and looked around. She saw big planes, small planes, and even a helicopter. + +"Wow, Mom, look at that!" Lily pointed at the helicopter. "It's so cool!" + +"It is, Lily. But we have to listen to the announcements and find our gate. That's where our plane will be." Mom said. + +They walked and listened. They heard a voice say: "Flight 123 to Grandma City, please go to gate 5. Last call." + +"That's us, Mom!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. Come on, hurry!" Mom said. + +They ran to gate 5. There was a lady with a badge and a scanner. She smiled at them. + +"Hello, can I see your passports, please?" She asked. + +Mom gave her their passports. The lady scanned them and gave them back. + +"Thank you, you can go now. Have a nice trip!" She said. + +"Thank you!" Mom said. + +They walked to a long tunnel that connected to the plane. Lily saw the plane up close. It was very big and shiny. It had wings and windows and a door. + +"Wow, Mom, look at our plane!" Lily said. + +"It's amazing, Lily. And you know what? It can fly very fast and very high. It's very graceful in the sky." Mom said. + +"Really? I can't wait to see it!" Lily said. + +They got on the plane and found their seats. They buckled their seatbelts and put their backpack and suitcase in the overhead bin. They looked out the window and saw the ground and the clouds. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom! I'm ready to fly!" Lily said. + +They held hands and smiled. They were going to see grandma soon. They were very happy and excited. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a big sign near a church. The sign has many colors and words. Lily and Ben want to know what the sign says. + +They go to the sign and try to read it. But the words are too hard for them. They only know some letters, like A, B, C, and D. They do not know the other letters, like Q, X, Z, and W. They are confused. + +They see a man coming out of the church. He is old and kind. He has a book in his hand. He sees Lily and Ben looking at the sign. He smiles and walks to them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like the sign?" he asks. + +"Yes, sir. But we do not know what it says. Can you tell us?" Lily says. + +"Of course. The sign says: 'Welcome to the church. God loves you. Come and learn about him.' Do you know who God is?" he says. + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not know who God is. + +"God is the one who made everything. He made the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the animals, the plants, and you and me. He is very good and very wise. He wants us to be happy and to love him and each other. He is our Father in heaven. Do you want to learn more about him?" he says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They want to learn more about God. He sounds very nice and very wise. + +"Then come with me. I will show you the church. It is a place where we can talk to God, sing to him, and listen to his words. He will be happy to see you. Come on, let's go." he says. + +He takes Lily and Ben by the hand and leads them to the church. They follow him and enter the church. They see many people inside. They are smiling and singing. They look happy. Lily and Ben feel happy too. They want to join them and learn about God. They thank the man for showing them the sign and the church. He hugs them and says: + +"You are very welcome. I am glad you came. God loves you very much. And so do I." +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jug on the table. It was full of water. Lily wanted to drink some water. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jug. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "The jug is heavy. You might drop it." + +Lily did not listen. She grabbed the jug and tried to pour some water into a cup. But the jug was too heavy for her. She lost her balance and leaned too far. The jug slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. Water splashed everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I made a big mess!" + +Tom was scared. He heard their mom coming. He looked for a place to hide. He saw a flexible basket under the table. He crawled into the basket and pulled it over his head. + +Their mom came into the kitchen. She saw the broken jug, the water, and Lily. She was angry. + +"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you touch the jug? You know it is not a toy." + +Lily was sorry. She did not mean to break the jug. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not find the words. She looked at her mom with big, sad eyes. + +Their mom saw Lily's eyes. She felt sorry for her too. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean it. But next time, you have to listen to Tom. He is your big brother. He tries to help you." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tom." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "It's okay. Let's clean up the mess together. And then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you." + +She looked for Tom. She wanted to say sorry to him too. She saw the basket under the table. She lifted the basket and saw Tom hiding inside. + +"Hi, Tom," she said. "I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You are a good brother." + +Tom came out of the basket. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you. You are a good sister." + +They hugged each other. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They had some cookies and milk. They were happy. +Lily and Max wanted to spend the day at the beach. They packed their toys, towels and hats in a big bag. Mom and Dad drove them to the beach in the car. + +When they got to the beach, they saw the blue water and the yellow sand. They heard the waves and the seagulls. They smelled the salt and the sun. They felt excited and happy. + +"Can we go in the water, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. The water is cold and wet. And don't go too far," Mom said. + +Lily and Max ran to the water. They splashed and jumped and laughed. They made bubbles and waves. They saw fish and shells and seaweed. They got very wet and cold. + +"Let's build a sandcastle, Max," Lily said. + +"OK, let's do it," Max said. + +They ran to the sand. They dug and piled and shaped. They used their toys and shells and sticks. They made a big and beautiful sandcastle. They felt proud and happy. + +"Look, Mom and Dad, look at our sandcastle!" Lily and Max shouted. + +Mom and Dad came to see. They smiled and clapped. They took a picture of Lily and Max and their sandcastle. + +"You did a great job, Lily and Max. We are very proud of you," Mom and Dad said. + +Lily and Max hugged Mom and Dad. They felt loved and happy. + +They had a wonderful day at the beach. +Anna liked to play with her toy phone. It had a screen that showed pictures and sounds. She pretended to call her friends and family. She also liked to take photos of her toys and her cat. + +One day, her toy phone stopped working. The screen was dark and quiet. Anna was sad and angry. She tried to push the buttons, but nothing happened. She threw the toy phone on the floor and cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the toy phone on the floor and picked it up. She looked at the screen and saw a crack. She said, "Oh, Anna, what happened to your toy phone? Did you break it?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I broke it. It was not working. I want a new one." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna, but we can't buy a new one right now. We have to save money for other things. You know, your toy phone was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She gave it to you because she loves you and wants you to be happy. She also wanted you to learn and have fun. Your toy phone was very valuable. Do you know what that means?" + +Anna shook her head and said, "No, what does it mean?" + +Her mom said, "It means that it was very important and precious. It was not just a thing. It had a meaning and a story. You should not throw it away or break it. You should take care of it and be grateful for it. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, grandma. I was not careful with my toy phone. I did not value it. Can we fix it?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe we can. Let's see if we can find some tape and glue. Maybe we can make the screen work again. Or maybe we can find another way to play with it. Maybe we can pretend that it is a radio or a flashlight. What do you think?" + +Anna said, "I think that is a good idea. Thank you, mom. You are very dependable. Do you know what that means?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, I do. It means that you can trust me and count on me. I will always love you and help you. And you are very dependable too, Anna. You are a good girl and a good learner. I'm proud of you." + +They hugged and kissed and went to find some tape and glue. They fixed the toy phone as best as they could. The screen was still cracked, but it made some sounds and showed some colors. Anna was happy and played with it again. She called her grandma and said, "I love you, grandma. Thank you for my toy phone. I value it very much." +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But they did not like to do what Mom and Dad said. They did not clean their room, they did not eat their vegetables, they did not brush their teeth. They always said, "No, no, no!" + +One day, Mom and Dad told them, "We are going on a holiday. We will see the sea and the sand and the sun. But you have to be obedient. You have to pack your bags, you have to wear your hats, you have to hold our hands. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They wanted to see the sea and the sand and the sun. They packed their bags, they wore their hats, they held their hands. They said, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +They went on a car to the holiday place. They saw the sea and the sand and the sun. They were very happy. They played with the waves, they built castles, they ate ice cream. They said, "Wow, wow, wow!" + +But then, they saw a big sign. It said, "Danger. Do not swim here. Sharks." Mom and Dad told them, "You have to be obedient. You have to stay away from the water. It is not safe. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They did not want to stay away from the water. They wanted to swim and splash and dive. They said, "No, no, no!" + +They ran to the water. They did not listen to Mom and Dad. They did not see the big fin. They did not hear the loud roar. They did not feel the sharp teeth. + +Mom and Dad saw the shark. They screamed and ran to the water. They tried to save Sara and Ben. But it was too late. The shark had eaten them. + +Mom and Dad cried and cried. They hugged each other. They said, "Why, why, why?" + +They went back to the car. They did not see the sea and the sand and the sun. They only saw the blood and the tears and the pain. They said, "Bye, bye, bye!" + +The moral of the story is: You have to be obedient. You have to do what Mom and Dad say. They know what is best for you. They love you and want you to be safe. If you are not obedient, you may get hurt or die. +Sara was very scared. She had a big test today at school. She did not like tests. They made her feel dumb and sad. She wished she could stay at home and play with her toys. + +She went to school with her mom. Mom gave her a hug and a kiss. "You can do it, Sara. Just try your best and mark the right answers. I am proud of you, no matter what." Mom said. + +Sara nodded, but she did not feel better. She walked to her classroom. She saw her teacher, Mr. Lee. He smiled at her. "Good morning, Sara. Are you ready for the test?" He asked. + +Sara shook her head. She did not want to talk. She sat at her desk. She saw a paper on it. It had many questions and pictures. She had to mark the pictures that matched the questions. She did not know how to do it. She felt like crying. + +She looked around. She saw her friend, Ben. He was sitting next to her. He was very smart. He always knew the answers. He was also very nice. He helped her with her homework sometimes. He saw her looking at him. He winked at her. "Don't worry, Sara. You can do it. Just mark what you think is right. And if you don't know, you can ask me. I will help you." He whispered. + +Sara felt a little better. She smiled at him. She decided to try the test. She looked at the first question. It said: "Which animal has wings?" She saw four pictures: a dog, a cat, a bird, and a fish. She knew the answer. She marked the bird. She felt happy. She moved on to the next question. + +She did not know that Mr. Lee was watching her. He saw her mark the bird. He also saw her look at Ben. He thought she was cheating. He did not like cheating. He thought it was weird and wrong. He decided to catch her. He waited for the right moment. He was going to make her fail the test. He did not know that Sara was trying her best. He did not know that Ben was trying to help her. He did not know that he was going to make a big mistake. +Lily and Ben are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They are going to a new place called a port. A port is where many boats stop and people get off and on. Lily and Ben like to look at the water and the birds and the other boats. + +One day, they see a very thin boat with a big sail. It is white and blue and has a flag on it. Lily and Ben want to touch it. They ask their mom and dad if they can go closer. + +"Can we touch the thin boat, please?" Lily says. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. + +Mom and dad smile and say yes. They hold Lily and Ben's hands and walk to the thin boat. They see a man on the boat. He is wearing a hat and a jacket. He waves at them. + +"Hello, hello!" he says. "Do you like my boat?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Ben say. "Can we touch it?" + +"Sure, you can!" the man says. "But be careful, it is very old and fragile. It is a special boat. It is called a sailboat." + +Lily and Ben touch the sailboat gently. They feel the wood and the cloth and the rope. They think it is very pretty and cool. + +"Thank you for letting us touch your sailboat!" Lily and Ben say. + +"You're welcome!" the man says. "Have a nice day!" + +Lily and Ben go back to their big boat with their mom and dad. They are happy and excited. They learned a new word today: sailboat. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they want to watch a video of a big truck. But mom says they have to eat lunch first. + +"Can we watch the video now, mom?" Tom asks. + +"Not yet, sweetie. You have to finish your food first. Then you can watch the video," mom says. + +Tom and Sam are not happy. They do not want to eat. They want to watch the video. They start to cry and whine. + +"Stop it, boys. You have to eat to be strong and healthy. The video will not go away. It will wait for you," mom says. + +But Tom and Sam do not listen. They throw their food on the floor. They make a big mess. Mom is angry. She takes away the video. + +"No video for you today, boys. You have to learn to be patient and polite. You have to respect your food and your mom. You have to say sorry and clean up the mess," mom says. + +Tom and Sam are very sad. They realize they made a mistake. They say sorry to mom. They help her clean up the mess. They promise to be good next time. + +Mom hugs them and smiles. She says she loves them. She says they can watch the video tomorrow if they behave well. + +Tom and Sam learn a lesson. They learn that they have to delay their wants sometimes. They learn that they have to be grateful and respectful. They learn that they have to be fit in body and mind. They learn that mom knows best. +Lily loved pandas. She had a panda toy, a panda book, and a panda hat. She always wanted to see a real panda, but they lived very far away. One day, her mom told her they were going to the zoo, where there was a panda. Lily was very excite. She put on her panda hat and hugged her panda toy. + +At the zoo, Lily and her mom walked around and saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. Lily liked them, but she wanted to see the panda. She asked her mom, "Where is the panda, mom?" + +"Almost there, Lily. The panda is in the next area. Come on, let's go." Her mom said. + +They reached the panda area and saw a big sign that said "Panda". Lily ran to the fence and looked for the panda. She saw a big black and white furry animal sitting on a rock. It was eating bamboo and looked very happy. Lily was very happy too. She said, "Look, mom, look! It's a panda! It's a real panda!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, it is, Lily. It's a beautiful panda. Do you want to say hello to it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Hello, panda! I'm Lily. I love you, panda!" + +The panda heard Lily and looked at her. It saw her panda hat and panda toy. It thought Lily was a panda too. It was very confuse. It got up from the rock and walked to the fence. It wanted to talk to Lily. + +Lily was very surprise. She said, "Wow, mom, wow! The panda is coming to me! The panda wants to be my friend!" + +Her mom said, "Be careful, Lily. The panda is a wild animal. It might not be friendly. Stay behind the fence and don't touch it." + +But Lily was not careful. She was very curious. She wanted to touch the panda. She reached out her hand and put it through the fence. She touched the panda's fur. It was very soft. + +The panda felt Lily's hand and was very angry. It thought Lily was trying to take its bamboo. It did not like that. It growled and bit Lily's hand. It hurt a lot. + +Lily screamed and pulled back her hand. She saw blood on her hand and tears in her eyes. She said, "Ow, ow, ow! The panda bit me, mom! The panda bit me!" + +Her mom was very scare. She grabbed Lily and ran to the zoo staff. She said, "Help, help! My daughter was bitten by the panda! She needs a doctor!" + +The zoo staff were very sorry. They said, "We're so sorry, ma'am. The panda is not used to people. It was a mistake. We'll take you to the hospital right away." + +Lily was very sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, panda. I just wanted to be your friend." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. You'll be fine. The panda didn't mean to hurt you. It was just scare. Maybe next time, you can watch the panda from a distance and enjoy it from afar." +Sara and Ben were playing a game with their toys. They had a big box and some cars and dolls. They pretended the box was a house and the toys were a family. Sara was the mom and Ben was the dad. + +"Let's go to the park, dad," Sara said, making her doll talk. + +"OK, mom," Ben said, making his car drive. "But we have to be careful. There are some bitter dogs there. They can bite." + +They moved their toys to the other side of the room, where they had a green rug. They said it was the park. They made their toys have fun and play. + +But then Ben got bored. He wanted to change the game. He grabbed Sara's doll and threw it in the air. + +"Hey, stop it!" Sara shouted. "That's not nice. You can't do that to my doll." + +"Yes, I can," Ben said. "It's my game now. I'm the boss." + +Sara got angry. She ran to Ben and tried to take her doll back. They started to fight and pull each other's hair. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" they both cried. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting and their toys all over the floor. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Ben changed the game," Sara said. "He threw my doll and he said he's the boss." + +"No, Sara changed the game," Ben said. "She wanted to play park and I wanted to play something else." + +Mom shook her head. She picked up their toys and put them back in the box. + +"You both need a time out," she said. "You can't play together if you can't share and be nice. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Sara and Ben felt sad. They didn't want to go to their rooms. They wanted to play. But they knew they had to listen to mom. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Maybe we can play again later," Sara said. + +"Maybe we can play a different game," Ben said. + +They went to their rooms and waited for mom to come back. They hoped she would not be bitter. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to see the ducks and geese in the pond. They brought some bread to feed them. + +"Look, Mom, a big goose!" Ben said, pointing to a white bird with a long neck and a black beak. "Can I give it some bread?" + +"Be careful, Ben," Mom said. "Geese can be difficult. They might bite or chase you if they don't like you." + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the goose with a piece of bread in his hand. He tried to throw it to the goose, but the goose was faster. It snapped at Ben's hand and made a loud honk. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the bread and ran back to Mom. The goose followed him, flapping its wings and honking more. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny to see Ben and the goose. She picked up another piece of bread and said, "Here, goose, goose. I have some bread for you. You are not difficult. You are nice." + +The goose stopped chasing Ben and turned to Lily. It saw the bread and walked to her. Lily held out the bread and smiled. The goose took the bread gently and ate it. Then it rubbed its head against Lily's leg and made a soft sound. + +"See, Mom?" Lily said. "The goose likes me. It is not difficult. It is friendly." + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She looked at Ben and said, "Maybe you can try again, Ben. But this time, be gentle and slow. Geese can be friendly, too, if you treat them well." + +Ben nodded. He was still scared of the goose, but he wanted to be brave. He picked up another piece of bread and walked to the goose. He held out the bread and said, "Sorry, goose. I did not mean to make you angry. Can we be friends?" + +The goose looked at Ben and the bread. It did not honk or bite. It took the bread and ate it. Then it nodded at Ben and made a soft sound. + +Ben smiled. He felt happy. He had made a new friend. He said, "Thank you, goose. You are not difficult. You are nice." +Lily was a little girl who liked to gaze at the stars. Every night, she would go to her window and look up at the sky. She would see the bright dots and the big moon. She would make wishes and tell stories to the stars. + +One night, Lily wanted to see the stars better. She asked her mom for a telescope. Her mom said she would get one for her birthday, but that was a long time away. Lily was impatient. She wanted to see the stars now. She tried to think of a way to make her own telescope. + +She found a cardboard tube in the trash. She thought it looked like a telescope. She put it to her eye and gazed at the stars. But they did not look bigger. They looked smaller and darker. Lily was sad. She threw the tube away and sucked her thumb. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He had a surprise for her. He had a real telescope. He had bought it for her birthday, but he could not wait to give it to her. He wanted to share his love of the stars with her. + +He set up the telescope in the backyard. He showed Lily how to use it. He pointed it at the moon. Lily looked through the telescope and gasped. She saw the moon up close. She saw the craters and the shadows. She saw a smile on the moon's face. She smiled back. + +She thanked her dad and hugged him. She gazed at the stars with him. She felt happy and loved. She made new wishes and stories with the stars. She forgot about her thumb. She had the best night ever. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and they liked to share them. They were happy and kind to each other. + +But then, Lily started to sneeze. She sneezed once, twice, three times. She felt sick and her nose was runny. She wanted to go to bed and rest. + +Tom saw that Lily was not well. He wanted to help her. He said, "Lily, you need to drink some water and take a nap. I will bring you a blanket and a teddy bear. You will feel better soon." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a lovely brother. I love you." + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a lovely sister. I hope you get well soon." + +He went to the kitchen and got a glass of water for Lily. He also got a blanket and a teddy bear from their room. He opened the door and walked back to Lily. + +But on his way, he met their dog, Spot. Spot was playful and wanted to chase Tom. He jumped on Tom and made him drop the glass, the blanket and the teddy bear. The glass broke and the water spilled on the floor. The blanket and the teddy bear got dirty. + +Tom was sad and angry. He shouted, "Spot, you are a bad dog! You made a mess and you ruined Lily's things. Go away!" + +Spot felt sorry and scared. He ran away and hid under the sofa. He did not mean to hurt Tom or Lily. He just wanted to have fun. + +Tom picked up the broken glass and the wet blanket and the teddy bear. He threw them in the trash. He did not have anything to give to Lily. He felt bad and guilty. + +He went to Lily and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I don't have anything for you. Spot was naughty and he made me lose everything. I'm sorry." + +Lily looked at Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I don't need anything. I just need you. You are still a lovely brother. I forgive you." + +Tom felt happy and relieved. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are still a lovely sister. I forgive you too." + +They hugged and said, "We love you, Spot. You are still a good dog. Come here and join us." + +Spot heard them and came out of his hiding place. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful. + +They all cuddled and said, "We are a happy family. We love each other. We are sorry when we make mistakes. We forgive when we are hurt. We are lovely." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of love, forgiveness and kindness. It shows that even when we have problems or conflicts, we can still be nice and caring to each other. It also shows that we can learn from our mistakes and apologize when we are wrong. It also shows that we can accept and appreciate others for who they are, even if they are different or make us angry sometimes. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a new girl sitting on a bench. She looks sad and lonely. + +"Who is she?" Ben asks Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe she is new here. Let's go and say hello," Anna says. + +They walk to the bench and smile at the girl. + +"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What's your name?" Anna says. + +The girl looks up and says, "I'm Lily. I just moved here with my mom and dad. I miss my old friends." + +"We can be your friends, Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says. + +Lily nods and smiles. "Yes, please. That would be nice." + +They introduce Lily to their favorite games and toys. They swing, slide, run, and laugh. They have a lot of fun. + +After a while, they get hungry. They go to the snack bar and look at the menu. The menu has pictures of different foods and drinks. + +"What do you want, Lily?" Anna asks. + +Lily points to a sandwich and a juice. "That, please." + +Anna and Ben order the same. They pay with their coins and sit at a table. + +They share their food and talk about their likes and dislikes. They find out they have a lot in common. + +They are compassionate and kind to each other. They make each other happy. + +They finish their snack and hug. + +"Thank you for being my friends, Anna and Ben. You are very nice," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are very nice, too.

They have a new friend. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a cabin that their dad made for them. It had a door, a window, and a roof. They liked to pretend it was their house. + +One day, they went to the cabin with their dog, Spot. They brought some toys and snacks. They had fun playing with Spot and making up stories. They decided to have a tea party with their stuffed animals. + +"Can I have some tea, please?" Sara asked Ben, holding out her cup. + +"Sure, here you go," Ben said, pouring some water from a bottle. "Do you want some cookies, too?" + +"Yes, please," Sara said, smiling. "They are my favorite." + +They gave some cookies to their stuffed animals and Spot. They were having a good time, until they heard a loud noise outside. + +"What was that?" Ben asked, looking scared. + +"I don't know," Sara said, holding Spot. "Let's go see." + +They opened the door and saw a big bear. The bear was sniffing around their cabin. He smelled the cookies and wanted some. He saw Sara and Ben and growled. + +"Run!" Ben shouted, grabbing Sara's hand. + +They ran away from the cabin, leaving their toys and snacks behind. The bear followed them, but he was slow and clumsy. He tripped over a log and fell down. He got up and saw the cabin. He went inside and ate the cookies. He also ate some of the stuffed animals. He thought they were disgusting, but he was hungry. + +Sara and Ben ran to their dad, who was chopping some wood. They told him about the bear and the cabin. He was surprised and worried. + +"Are you okay?" he asked, hugging them. + +"Yes, we are okay," Sara said, "but the bear ate our cookies and our toys." + +"That's too bad," he said, "but I'm glad you are safe. Maybe we can make some new toys and cookies later. And maybe we can include some honey for the bear, so he won't bother us again." + +"Okay," Ben said, "but can we also include a lock for the cabin?" + +"Sure," he said, "that's a good idea. Come on, let's go home." + +They went home with their dad and Spot. They were sad about their cabin, but they were happy to be together. They learned to be careful in the woods, and to share with the bear. +Lily was a stubborn bunny. She did not like to listen to her mom and dad. She liked to do what she wanted. One day, she wanted to eat all the carrots in the garden. She did not care that the carrots were for everyone. She hopped over the fence and started to nibble on the crunchy carrots. + +Mom and dad saw Lily eating the carrots. They were angry. They called her name and told her to stop. But Lily did not stop. She ignored them and ate more carrots. She thought she was clever and sneaky. + +But mom and dad were clever too. They waited for Lily to finish eating. Then they hopped over the fence and caught her. They told her she was naughty and greedy. They said she had to punish for eating all the carrots. They took her to the shed and locked her inside. They said she had to stay there until she said sorry. + +Lily was sad and scared. She did not like the shed. It was dark and cold and lonely. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had shared the carrots. She realized she was not clever and sneaky. She was foolish and selfish. + +She cried and cried. She said she was sorry. She said she would not do it again. She said she loved her mom and dad. She hoped they would hear her and forgive her. She hoped they would let her out of the shed. She learned her lesson.

Give us back our ship!" + +But the ducks did not stop. They kept playing with the ship. They made the ship go under a bridge. + +Ben and Mia could not see their ship anymore. They were very worried. They thought they had lost their ship forever. + +They sat on the grass and cried. They hugged each other. + +"Where is our ship?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Mia said.

Are you looking for this?" + +They looked up and saw a man. He was holding their ship. He had a smile on his face. + +He had seen the ducks playing with the ship. He had followed them and caught the ship. He had brought it back to Ben and Mia. + +He gave them their ship. He patted their heads. + +"Here you go, children. This is a nice ship.

The man has a hat and a badge. He is a cop. The cop and the dog are looking for something. + +"Can we pet your dog?" Tom asks the cop. + +"Sure, but be careful. He is working. He is looking for a bad guy who ran away," the cop says. + +The cop and the dog walk away. Tom and Mia follow them. They want to see the bad guy. They see the cop and the dog stop near a big tree. The dog barks and sniffs. The cop looks up. He sees a man hiding in the tree.

They are their new friends. +Tom was a farmer who had many cows. He liked to sell the cows' milk and cheese to the people in the town. But Tom was very cheap. He did not want to spend money on good food or water for his cows. He only gave them dry grass and dirty water. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind was very loud and the rain was very hard. Tom was scared. He wanted to lead his cows to a safe place. But he did not have a barn or a shed for them. He only had a small fence around his field. He tried to lead his cows to the fence, but they did not want to follow him. They were hungry and thirsty and sick. They did not like Tom. + +The storm was too strong. It broke the fence and knocked down Tom. The cows ran away. They looked for a better place to live. They found a nice farm with green grass and clean water and a kind farmer. They stayed there and were happy. + +Tom was very sad and angry. He lost all his cows and his money. He had no milk or cheese to sell. He had no food or water for himself. He was alone and poor. He wished he had been nicer to his cows. But it was too late. The end. +Lily was a tall girl who liked to go to the zoo with her mom. She loved to see all the different animals, but her favorite was the otter. She liked how the otter swam and played in the water, and how it had a shiny brown coat and a long tail. + +One day, Lily saw a new otter in the zoo. It was smaller than the other otters, and it looked scared and lonely. Lily felt sorry for the new otter, and wanted to be its friend. She asked her mom if she could tell the new otter a story. + +Her mom said yes, and helped Lily climb up on a bench near the otter's pool. Lily looked at the new otter and smiled. She said, "Hello, otter. My name is Lily. I have a story for you. Do you want to hear it?" + +The new otter looked at Lily with curiosity. It swam closer to the bench and nodded its head. Lily was happy that the otter wanted to listen. She said, "Once upon a time, there was a tall girl who liked to go to the zoo. She saw a new otter who was scared and lonely. She told the otter a story, and they became friends. The end." + +The new otter liked Lily's story. It clapped its paws and made a happy noise. It jumped out of the water and gave Lily a wet hug. Lily giggled and hugged the otter back. She said, "You are a good otter. I like you. Do you want to hear another story?" + +The new otter nodded its head again. Lily smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you another story. This one is about a big bear who liked to eat honey..." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. She wanted to pet the dog. She smiled at the dog. + +"No, Lily, don't!" Tom said. He was scared of the dog. He thought the dog might bite. He pulled Lily back. + +The dog barked. It was not a friendly bark. It was a loud and angry bark. The dog ran towards Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom dropped their toys and ran away. They ran to the bench where their mommies were sitting. They hugged their mommies and cried. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay," their mommies said. They kissed their heads and rubbed their backs. They made them feel safe. + +The dog's owner came. He was a nice man. He said he was sorry. He said his dog was not mean, but he was not used to children. He said he would keep his dog on a leash from now on. + +He gave Lily and Tom their toys back. He also gave them some cookies. The cookies were sweet and crunchy. Lily and Tom liked the cookies. They said thank you to the man. + +They smiled at the man and the dog. They were not scared anymore. They learned to be careful with strange dogs. They also learned to be kind and forgiving. They were happy and they were best friends. +Tim and Sam are two birds who live in a cage. They do not like the cage. They want to fly and see the world. But the cage has a lock and a big man who feeds them. + +One day, the big man forgets to close the lock. Tim and Sam see their chance. They push the door with their beaks and fly out of the cage. They are very happy and excited. + +"Look, Sam, we are free!" Tim says. + +"Yes, Tim, we are free! Let's go and explore!" Sam says. + +They fly around the room and see many things. They see a window, a lamp, a sofa, a table, and a cat. The cat sees them and wants to catch them. The cat jumps on the table and tries to reach them. + +"Watch out, Tim, the cat is coming!" Sam says. + +"Oh no, Sam, the cat is scary!" Tim says. + +They fly away from the cat and look for a way out. They see the window and fly towards it. But the window is closed. They hit the glass and fall down. + +"Ouch, Tim, that hurts!" Sam says. + +"Ouch, Sam, me too!" Tim says. + +They get up and look for another way out. They see a door that is open. They fly towards the door and see the big man. The big man sees them and wants to put them back in the cage. + +"Come here, Tim and Sam, you naughty birds!" the big man says. + +"No, no, no, we don't want to go back!" Tim and Sam say. + +They fly past the big man and out of the door. They see the sky, the sun, the trees, and the flowers. They are very happy and proud. + +"We did it, Sam, we did it! We escaped!" Tim says. + +"Yes, Tim, we did it! We are clever!" Sam says. + +They fly away and enjoy their freedom. They never go back to the cage. They are free birds. +Tim and Lily liked to play dress up. They had many costumes in their big box. They had hats and capes and masks and wings. They liked to pretend they were different things. + +One day, they decided to be soldiers. They put on green clothes and helmets and boots. They found some sticks to be guns. They marched around the yard and said, "Hut, hut, hut!" + +They saw a big hill with a flag on top. They wanted to capture the flag. They marched up the hill and said, "Hut, hut, hut!" But when they got to the top, they saw something else. It was a big dog. It was not a friendly dog. It was a mean dog. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. + +Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped their sticks and ran away. They marched down the hill and said, "Help, help, help!" They ran back to their house and closed the door. They took off their costumes and hugged each other. They were glad they were safe. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that playing dress up was fun, but not always good. They learned that some things were not what they seemed. They learned that some things were better left alone. They learned that being soldiers was not for them. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big ladder near their house. It was leaning on the wall. They were curious and enthusiastic. They wanted to climb the ladder and see what was on the roof. + +"Let's go, Sam!" Mia said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Mia!" Sam said. "But we have to be careful. And we have to leave before Mom and Dad see us." + +They climbed the ladder slowly and carefully. They reached the roof and looked around. They saw birds, trees, cars, and clouds. They felt happy and excited. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Mia said. "Look at all the things we can see!" + +"Yeah, this is awesome!" Sam said. "But we can't stay here too long. Mom and Dad will be worried." + +They decided to go down the ladder. But when they turned around, they saw a big problem. The ladder was gone! Someone had moved it. They were stuck on the roof! + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We can't get down!" + +They hoped that someone would hear them and help them. They wished they had not climbed the ladder. They learned a lesson. They should not leave their yard without permission. And they should not go on the roof. It was not safe. +Lila is a hippo who likes to swim and play in the water. She has many friends who swim with her, like Tom the turtle and Nina the fish. They have fun splashing and diving and racing each other. + +But Lila wants to be faster and stronger. She wants to win more races and swim farther. She wants to improve her skills and be more fit. So she decides to practice every day and eat healthy food. + +She swims faster and faster, and tries new moves and tricks. She eats more fruits and vegetables, and less cake and candy. She feels more energy and more happy. + +Soon, Lila notices that she can swim longer and faster than before. She can do flips and twists and jumps. She can beat Tom and Nina in races, and they cheer for her. She can swim to new places and see new things. She has improved a lot and is very fit. + +Lila is proud of herself and her friends are proud of her too. They still swim and play together, and have fun. Lila is a happy and fit hippo. +Anna and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They are very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Anna says. + +"Yes, he is. He likes the snow," Ben says. + +They hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck stops near their snowman. A man gets out of the truck. He has a big box. + +"Hello, kids. I have some food for you. Do you want some?" the man says. + +Anna and Ben are curious. They run to the truck. They see the box. It has a picture of a cake on it. The cake is pink and has white frosting. + +"Wow, a cake!" Anna says. + +"Can we have some?" Ben says. + +"Sure, you can. But you have to be quick. The cake is frozen. It will melt soon," the man says. + +He opens the box. He takes out a big slice of cake. He gives it to Anna and Ben. They take a bite. The cake is cold and sweet. They like it. + +"Thank you, mister!" Anna and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the cake. And be careful with the snowman. He might get jealous," the man says. + +He laughs and gets back in the truck. He drives away. + +Anna and Ben finish the cake. They go back to their snowman. They give him a hug. + +"Don't worry, snowman. We still love you. You are our friend," Anna says. + +"Yes, you are. And you have the best nose ever," Ben says. + +The snowman does not say anything. But he still smiles. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fire in a house. The fire is red and orange and makes a lot of noise. + +"Look, Lila, fire!" Tom says. He points to the house. + +"Fire is bad, Tom. Fire can hurt people and things. We should go away," Lila says. She is scared of the fire. + +"But fire is also good, Lila. Fire can keep us warm and cook food. Fire is regular," Tom says. He is curious about the fire. + +"No, Tom, fire is not regular. Fire is only good when it is small and safe. This fire is big and dangerous. Come on, let's go find a grown-up," Lila says. She pulls Tom by the hand. + +They run to the park gate and see a fire truck. The fire truck has a loud siren and a long hose. The fire truck stops near the house. Some men get out of the fire truck. They wear helmets and coats. They are firefighters. They use the hose to spray water on the fire. + +"Wow, Lila, look at the firefighters. They are brave and strong. They can stop the fire," Tom says. He admires the firefighters. + +"Yes, Tom, they are. They can help people and things. They are good," Lila says. She smiles at the firefighters. + +They watch the firefighters work until the fire is gone. Then they wave to the firefighters and say thank you. The firefighters wave back and say you're welcome. Lila and Tom are happy. They go back to the park and play. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found some bread, cheese, jam and butter in the fridge. They also saw a big knife on the counter. Lily wanted to use the knife to cut the bread, but Tom said no. + +"Knife is bad. Knife can hurt you. Mommy always says be careful with knife," Tom said. + +"But I want to be a big chef. Big chefs use knives. You are a baby," Lily said. She grabbed the knife and tried to cut the bread. The knife was too sharp and too heavy for her. She slipped and cut her finger. She screamed and dropped the knife. The knife fell on the floor and broke a plate. The bread, cheese, jam and butter flew everywhere. The kitchen was messy. + +Mommy heard the scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and bleeding. She saw Tom scared and hiding. She saw the knife and the mess. She was angry and sad. + +"What did you do? How could you be so naughty? You know you are not allowed to touch the knife. You could have hurt yourself or Tom. You made a big mess. You are in big trouble," Mommy said. + +She took Lily to the bathroom and wrapped her finger with a bandage. She told Tom to stay in the kitchen and wait for her. She said she would clean the mess and then talk to them. She said they would not get any dessert or playtime today. She said they would have to say sorry and learn their lesson. Lily and Tom felt bad. They wished they had listened to Tom and not touched the knife. They wished they had played something else. They wished they had not made Mommy angry and sad. They wished they could go back and change what they did. But they could not. They had to face the consequences of their actions. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were walking with their mom to the park. On the way, they saw a big building with a lot of smoke coming out of it. Tom asked his mom, "What is that?" + +"That is a factory, Tom. A factory is a place where people make things, like toys or clothes or cars." + +"What kind of things do they make in that factory?" Lily questioned. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they make candy or cookies or juice." + +Tom and Lily liked candy and cookies and juice. They wanted to see what the factory made. They asked their mom if they could go inside. + +"No, Tom and Lily. You can't go inside the factory. It is not safe for children. There might be machines or chemicals or fire that could hurt you. And the factory might be very noisy and dirty and smelly. You wouldn't like it there." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to see the factory. They wondered what it was like inside. They walked to the park with their mom. They saw a man selling ice cream. They asked their mom if they could have some ice cream. + +"Sure, Tom and Lily. You can have some ice cream. What flavor do you want?" + +Tom wanted chocolate and Lily wanted strawberry. The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. They licked their ice cream happily. But then they made a sour face. + +"Yuck! This ice cream is sour!" Tom said. + +"Me too! This ice cream is sour!" Lily said. + +They looked at the man. He smiled and said, "Sorry, kids. This ice cream is from the factory. They make sour ice cream there. Do you want to try another flavor?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They threw away their ice cream. They didn't want any more ice cream from the factory. They decided they liked the park better than the factory. They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had fun with their mom. They forgot about the sour ice cream and the factory. They were happy. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Tom had a stick that he used as a sword. Anna had a crown that she made from flowers. + +"Look, Anna, I have a sword!" Tom said. "I can fight dragons and bad guys with it." + +"That's cool, Tom," Anna said. "But be careful, swords can hurt." + +Tom nodded. He knew swords were not toys. He only used his stick for fun. + +Then they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had a big book in his lap. + +"Who is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe he is new here. Do you want to say hi?" + +Tom nodded again. He and Anna walked over to the bench. + +"Hello," Tom said. "What is your name?" + +The boy looked up. He smiled a little. + +"My name is Ben," he said. + +"Hi, Ben," Anna said. "We are Tom and Anna. We are playing knights and princesses. Do you want to play with us?" + +Ben nodded. He closed his book and put it down. + +"Sure, I like knights and princesses," he said. + +Tom smiled. He liked to make new friends. + +"Great," he said. "I have a sword. Do you want to see it?" + +He showed Ben his stick. + +"Wow, that's a nice sword," Ben said. + +"Thanks," Tom said. "It's easy to use. You just swing it like this." + +He demonstrated how to swing his stick. + +"Can I try?" Ben asked. + +"Sure," Tom said. He handed Ben his stick. + +Ben took the stick and swung it. He liked how it felt. + +"Wow, this is fun," he said. + +Tom and Anna clapped. + +"You are good at it," Anna said. + +"Thanks," Ben said. He gave Tom back his stick. + +"Maybe we can find you a sword too," Tom said. + +"Or a crown," Anna said. + +"Or both," Ben said. + +They laughed. They were happy. They had a new friend. They played together until it was time to go home. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. The balloon is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow, and green. Sara and Ben stare at the balloon. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Sara says. "The balloon is so pretty!" + +"Yes, Sara, yes!" Ben says. "The balloon is so big!" + +They run to the balloon. They try to catch it. But the balloon is too high. They cannot reach it. They feel sad. + +A man sees Sara and Ben. The man has a basket. The basket has many small balloons. The small balloons are colorful too. The man smiles at Sara and Ben. + +"Hello, little ones," the man says. "Do you like balloons?" + +"Yes, yes, we do!" Sara and Ben say. + +"Would you like a balloon?" the man asks. + +"Yes, yes, we would!" Sara and Ben say. + +The man gives Sara and Ben each a small balloon. Sara gets a red one. Ben gets a blue one. They are happy. They hug the man. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome," the man says. "Have fun with your balloons!" + +Sara and Ben hold their balloons. They feel their hearts beat fast. They smile at each other. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They like colorful balloons. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and worms. They found a big mushroom that was brown and round. Ben wanted to pick it and see what was inside. + +"Look, Lily, a mushroom! Let's raise it and see!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, don't touch it! It might be bad!" Lily said. She was frightened of the mushroom. She had heard that some mushrooms could make you sick or hurt you. + +"But I want to see! Maybe there is a fairy or a bug under it!" Ben said. He did not listen to Lily. He raised the mushroom with his hands. + +Suddenly, a loud hiss came from the mushroom. It was not a mushroom at all. It was a snake that was hiding under the dirt. The snake was angry that Ben had disturbed it. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. + +"Ah! Snake! Snake!" Ben screamed. He dropped the mushroom and ran away. Lily ran after him. They were both very scared. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She saw them and hugged them. + +"What happened, my loves? Why are you so frightened?" she asked. + +"There was a snake in the garden! It looked like a mushroom, but it was a snake!" Ben said. + +"Oh, dear, that sounds scary. But don't worry, it was probably just a garter snake. They are not dangerous. They just like to hide under things. Next time, be careful and don't raise things that you don't know what they are. OK?" she said. + +"OK, mom. We're sorry. We won't do it again," Ben and Lily said. + +They felt better and went back to play. But they stayed away from the mushroom that was really a snake. They learned their lesson. +Lily likes to zoom with her toy car. She makes it go fast on the floor and on the sofa. She likes to make vroom-vroom noises with her mouth. She has fun with her toy car. + +One day, Lily sees a big glass on the table. It is full of water and has ice and a straw. Lily thinks it looks good. She wants to drink it. She takes her toy car and zooms to the table. She reaches for the glass. + +But the glass is too far and too heavy. Lily cannot hold it. The glass falls and breaks. The water spills everywhere. The ice and the straw fly in the air. Lily hears a loud crash. She is scared and sad. + +Mommy hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the mess and the broken glass. She is angry and worried. She says, "Lily, what did you do? This is bad. You could have hurt yourself. You should not touch the glass. You should play with your toy car." + +Lily feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to drink the water. I did not mean to break the glass. I was zooming with my toy car." Mommy hugs Lily and says, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are not hurt. But you have to be careful. Next time, ask me for water. And do not zoom near the glass. Let's clean up the mess together." Lily nods and says, "Okay, Mommy. I love you." Mommy says, "I love you too, Lily." They clean up the mess and then zoom with the toy car. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs. They always shared and helped each other. They were very happy. + +One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and had fun. + +Then, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It barked very loud. Anna and Ben were scared. They ran to their moms and hugged them. + +The dog ran after them. It jumped on the slide and slid down. It knocked over their toys and books. It bit their songs and tore them. It made a big mess. + +Anna and Ben cried. They were very sad. Their toys, books, and songs were gone. They could not play, read, or sing anymore. The dog had vanished their things. They had no peace. They had a bad day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But the slide is in the dark part of the park. Lily is scared of the dark. Ben says it is fine. He says he will go first and then take Lily's hand. + +Ben goes on the slide. He laughs and says it is fun. He tells Lily to come. Lily walks to the slide. She is still scared. She sees Ben at the bottom. He smiles and reaches his hand. Lily gets on the slide. She closes her eyes. + +But Ben is not nice. He has a plan. He wants to scare Lily. He runs away and hides. Lily slides down. She opens her eyes. She does not see Ben. She does not see his hand. She sees only dark. She is alone. She cries and cries. She calls for Ben. But Ben does not come. He laughs and laughs. He thinks it is funny. Lily is very sad. She is very scared. She wants to go home. But she does not know how. She is lost in the dark. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big blue ball. They want to play with it. + +"Can we have the ball, please?" Lily asks a boy who is holding it. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" the boy says. He is bad. He does not share. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They walk away. They see a girl who is sitting on a bench. She is crying. + +"What is wrong?" Ben asks her. + +"I lost my doll. I can't find her anywhere. She is my best friend." the girl says. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for her. They want to help. + +"Maybe we can find your doll. What does she look like?" Lily asks. + +"She has yellow hair and a pink dress. She is very pretty." the girl says. + +Lily and Ben look around. They see a yellow and pink thing under a tree. They run to it. It is the doll! + +"Look, we found her!" Lily says. She picks up the doll and gives it to the girl. + +The girl is very happy. She hugs the doll and smiles. + +"Thank you so much! You are very kind. Do you want to be my friends?" she asks. + +Lily and Ben nod. They smile too. + +"Yes, we do. What is your name?" Ben asks. + +"My name is Anna. What are yours?" she asks. + +"I am Lily and this is Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I do. Do you like my ball?" Anna asks. She points to the big blue ball that the bad boy left behind. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the ball. They look at Anna. They look at each other. + +"Yes, we do. Can we share it?" Ben asks. + +"Of course. Sharing is fun. Come on, let's go!" Anna says. + +Lily, Ben and Anna run to the ball. They play with it. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. They are happy. +Lily was a big girl. She was three years old and very independent. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, brushing her teeth, and reading books. She also liked to help her mom and dad in the kitchen, especially when they baked cookies or cakes. + +Today was a special day. It was Lily's birthday. She was very excited. She had a new dress, a new doll, and a big balloon. She also had a lot of friends coming over to celebrate with her. She wanted to make them happy and give them something sweet to eat. + +She asked her mom if she could help her make the frosting for the cake. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and follow the instructions. She gave Lily a bowl, a spoon, and a bag of sugar. She told her to pour some sugar in the bowl and mix it with some butter and milk. She said she would be back in a minute. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She opened the bag of sugar and poured some in the bowl. Then she poured some more. And some more. She thought the more sugar, the better. She mixed it with the spoon, but it was very hard. She decided to use her hands instead. She squished and squeezed the sugar and butter and milk. It felt funny and sticky. She liked it. + +She heard her mom coming back. She wanted to show her what she had done. She picked up the bowl and ran to her mom. But she tripped on the rug and fell down. The bowl flew out of her hands and landed on her mom's head. The sugar and butter and milk splashed all over her mom's face and hair and clothes. + +Lily gasped. She was scared. She thought her mom would be angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help. I wanted to make the frosting." + +Her mom looked at her. She was covered in sugar and butter and milk. She felt wet and sticky. She could have been angry. But she saw Lily's face. She saw her big eyes and her sweet smile. She saw how much she loved her and wanted to make her happy. She laughed. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You did help. You made me laugh. And you made the frosting very sweet. Happy birthday, my independent girl. I love you." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. But they did not see the big cloud that came over the sun. The cloud was dark and loud. It made a scary noise. Boom! + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to their mom. "Mom, mom, what is that?" they cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. That is just thunder. It is the sound of the cloud. Sometimes the cloud makes thunder and rain. But it will not hurt you. It is just water." + +Lily and Tom looked at the sky. They saw drops of rain falling. They felt the rain on their skin. It was wet and cold. They did not like it. + +"Can we go home, mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, we can go home. But first, let me tell you something. Do you know why the cloud makes thunder and rain?" mom asked. + +Lily and Tom shook their heads. + +Mom said, "The cloud makes thunder and rain because it is tired. It has been carrying a lot of water for a long time. It needs to let go of some water. That is why it rains. And when it rains, it makes room for the sun to come back. The sun is always there, behind the cloud. It is waiting for its turn to shine. The sun is not scared of the thunder. It knows that the thunder is just a noise. And the sun is not angry at the cloud. It knows that the cloud is just tired. The sun and the cloud are friends. They share the sky. They take turns to give us light and water. They are both good for us." + +Lily and Tom listened to mom. They felt less scared. They understood that the thunder and rain were not bad. They were just part of nature. They learned to respect the sun and the cloud. They thanked mom for her story. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love the sun and the cloud too." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. And I am proud of you. You are brave and smart. Now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and cheered. They held mom's hand and walked home. They were happy. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog. He likes to run and jump and catch balls. Tom and Ben are competitive. They always want to win. + +One day, they decide to have a race with Rex. They go to the park and find a big field. They draw a line with a stick. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to run. Rex runs with them. He is very fast. + +Tom and Ben try to move faster. They want to beat Rex and each other. They do not look where they are going. They bump into each other. They fall down. Rex keeps running. He crosses the line. He wins the race. He barks and wags his tail. He is happy. + +Tom and Ben are not happy. They are angry and sad. They blame each other. They say, "You pushed me!" and "You tripped me!" They start to fight. They do not see Rex coming back. Rex sees them fighting. He does not like it. He runs to them and licks their faces. He tries to make them stop. + +Tom and Ben feel Rex's tongue. They stop fighting. They look at Rex. They see his big eyes and his wet nose. They remember how much they love him. They feel sorry. They hug Rex. They hug each other. They say, "Sorry, Rex. Sorry, brother. You are both good runners. We are both good friends." + +Tom and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that being competitive is not always good. They learn that being kind and fair is better. They learn that playing with Rex is more fun than fighting with each other. They decide to play with Rex again. They throw the ball for him. They cheer for him. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. Rex is happy. The end. +Sara likes math. She likes to count and add and take away. She likes to play with blocks and shapes and puzzles. She likes to draw numbers and patterns and graphs. Math is fun for Sara. + +But not everyone likes math. Some of her friends think math is hard and boring. They like to play with dolls and cars and balls. They like to sing and dance and act.

It was big, but not big enough for both of them. She had another idea. "We can cut another hole on the other side!" she said. "Then, we can crawl in and out from both sides." + +Ben agreed.

She does not want to go down the hill. She thinks it is too dangerous. She thinks Ben is crazy. She says, "No, I don't want to go. You can go again if you want. I will stay here and make a snowman."

They were happy and relieved. + +The big boy saw what happened. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I was wrong. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Tom looked at him. They thought for a moment. Then they said, "OK, but you have to be nice and share. And don't throw our missile again." + +The big boy nodded and smiled. He said, "OK, I promise.

They forgot about their hate and became friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with paper. Lily made a hat and Ben made a boat. They put their things on the grass and ran to the hedge. + +"Look, there are birds in the hedge!" Lily said. "They are making a nest." + +Ben nodded. He saw the birds flying in and out with sticks and leaves. He wanted to see the nest better. He climbed on the hedge and reached out his hand. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. "You will scare the birds. They will fly away." + +But Ben did not listen. He touched the nest and felt something soft and warm. He pulled out an egg. + +"Wow, look at this!" he said. "It is blue and speckled. I want to keep it." + +Lily was angry and sad. She ran to Ben and tried to take the egg from him. + +"Give it back, Ben!" she said. "That is not yours. That is the bird's baby.

They make me bleed." + +Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw his fingers were red and sore. She felt sorry for him. + +"Let me see, Tom," she said. "You need a band-aid. Come with me. We will go to Mommy. She will make it better." + +She took his hand and led him to the house. She left the stick and the spikes in the garden. She did not like them.

The man's eyes widened. + +"That is a beautiful mineral," he said. "Where did you find it?" + +"In the park," Tom said. "We want to sell it and be wealthy." + +The man smiled sadly. "I used to be wealthy, too," he said. "But I lost everything because I was greedy and selfish. I did not share with others or help those in need. Now I have no friends, no family, no home. Wealth is not everything, children. Happiness is more important." + +Tom and Jen felt sorry for the man. They looked at each other and had an idea. + +"Sir, would you like to have this mineral?" Jen asked. "Maybe it will make you happy." + +The man was surprised and touched. He thanked the children and took the mineral. He said he would use it to buy some food and clothes, and maybe find a job. + +Tom and Jen felt happy, too. They realized that giving was better than keeping.

It was a very happy place. Everyone was very kind to each other and they were always having fun. + +But one day, something bad happened. An evil man came to the village and he was very rude. He shouted at everyone and told them to do things. + +The people didn't like this behaviour and so they decided to attach the evil man to a tree. He stayed there all night, but he did not learn his lesson. The next day he came back and was very rude again. + +Unfortunately, the people of the village did not know what else to do. So the evil man kept coming back and the village never seemed quite the same again. Whenever anyone saw him, they would run away. The village was never as happy as it had been. +Once upon a time there was a mighty ship. It sailed on the ocean, carrying a captain and his crew of brave sailors. One day, the captain noticed some black smoke in the distance. He shouted, "What is that smoke?" + +The sailors looked and saw a fireplace, with mighty flames leaping up into the sky. The captain said, "We must rescue the people in danger!" + +The ship sailed towards the fireplace, but the mighty flames kept the sailors away. The captain had an idea. He shouted, "Bring buckets of water and let us put out the fire!" + +The brave sailors raced to get the water, but it was too late. The fire was too powerful and it would not be put out. + +The captain and his crew sailed away sadly, but they had tried their best to save the people. They knew that's all that mattered. +One day, Jack met a new friend. His friend's name was Sam. Jack wanted to introduce Sam to his family. So, he took Sam over to his house. + +When they arrived, Jack's mom was very happy. She gave Sam a warm hug. Then she asked him if he would like something to eat. Sam said yes and asked for some cheese. + +Jack's mom made Sam some cheese and crackers. She said they were a perfect fit for him. Sam was very happy. He took a bite of the cheese and it tasted so yummy! + +The three of them laughed and talked for a while. Then they said goodbye and Jack and Sam went back to playing. From then on, Jack and Sam were good friends. +Once upon a time, there was a yellow hive full of bees. One day, a little bear wandered nearby and he was curious about what was inside. He asked the bees a question, "What do you have in there?" The bees had a quick answer: "Honey!" + +The little bear was so excited, but he knew it wouldn't be right to just take the honey without asking. So he asked the bees again, "May I please have some of your honey?" The bees were happy to share, so they answered kindly, "Yes, you may have some! Just be careful and don't take too much." + +The little bear was so happy, but he also knew it was a big responsibility to take the honey. He thought about how it would make the bees sad if he took too much, so he only took a small amount. + +The moral of the story is: Always be considerate and remember to ask before taking something that isn't yours. +Once there was a boy named Tim. He was three years old and he loved playing with his computer. One day he was playing and wanted to fit the computer in his toybox. It was too big to fit so Tim got frustrated. He really wanted it to fit, but it just wouldn't. + +So he decided to make it fit by pushing it down. The computer was too big, and he got a little bit dirty trying to shove it in. But eventually it did fit. + +Tim was very excited because he had finally gotten the computer to fit. He was so happy that he hugged it and took it into the living room to show his Mom and Dad. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a big family. They all lived together in the same house. Every night they all went to bed. One night, the little boy in the family wanted to stay up late, so he asked his parents if he could. + +His parents said no, but told him he could bring his favorite blanket up to his bed. He was happy to take his blanket and he ran up to his room. Once he was in his room, he couldn't believe how high his bed was. He looked around but he couldn't find his blanket. + +The little boy started to cry and his parents ran into the room. They understood that he was looking for his blanket and told him it was under his bed. The little boy was so happy and he quickly grabbed his blanket and snuggled under it. With his blanket, he felt much better and he quickly fell asleep. + +The little boy and his blanket had many more adventures together. He would always understand that having his special blanket near him made him feel safe and happy. +Once upon a time there was a lovely girl who lived in a big house. She wanted to go on a search for something special. She thought for a long time about what she should look for and felt like she must find the answer. + +One day she decided to go on her search. She started to look in the garden, under the trees and around the house. Nothing seemed to be what she was looking for. + +Suddenly, she saw a sparkle in the corner of the garden. She stumbled upon a lovely golden rock. She thought it must be a treasure and she was so excited. + +She ran back to her house with the rock, feeling very happy. Later, she decided to keep the rock as a reminder that something special can be found if you keep searching. +One evening, Milly was walking in the woods. She was cheerful and excited as the birds chirped and the sun shined brightly. Even though it was a peaceful evening, something didn't seem right. Every once in awhile, Milly heard a strange sound that disturbed her calm. + +Milly hurried along, determined to reach the clearing before it got dark. As she entered a clearing, the noise grew louder. Something was moving in the shadows, and Milly started to worry. + +Suddenly, a friendly face appeared! A little rabbit hopped out of the shadows, making the happiest sound. Milly realized that the noise was coming from the rabbit's cute little noises! + +Milly laughed with delight as the rabbit hopped around her. They had a wonderful time playing together that evening, until the sunset made it too dark for them to stay. + +Milly said goodbye, but was happy to know the rabbit would still be in the woods the next evening. Her walk home was peaceful and cheerful! +Once upon a time, there was a girl called Lucy. She was three years old and enjoyed learning new things. + +One day, her mum showed her a glass of warm milk. She didn't understand what it was, but it looked nice. Her mum explained that it was milk and it was good for her. + +The next day, Lucy had some warm milk. It was yummy! She liked the way it felt in her tummy. She understood that it was something she should drink every day. + +Lucy was very happy, she liked warm milk and knew it was good for her. Every day she drank some and she was always very happy and healthy. +Dad was always busy. He had to keep working and he worked a lot. One day, he saw that the freezer needed to be taken care of. It was very full, but he had to keep it regular. + +“I’ll take care of it later,†he said to himself. + +That night, Dad still didn’t take care of the freezer. He was getting very tired, so he decided to rest. + +The next morning, Dad was shocked by what he found out. The freezer was overflowing and it wasn’t regular anymore. + +“What happened to this freezer?†Dad asked. + +“I told you that you should’ve kept it regular yesterdayâ€, Mom said. + +Dad didn’t realize he had been putting things off for a while. He had ignored the rising level in the freezer, and now it was too late. + +By neglecting to keep things regular, Dad had bigger problems to worry about now. It was all a lesson that one could’ve been foreshadowed before, if he had just paid attention. +The monkey was happy. He had a big box of coloured paper, some scissors and a plate of sweet treats. The monkey wanted to make something special. He took out the scissors and snipped the paper into small pieces. Then he stuck the paper together. He loved it! + +The monkey then looked at the treats and decided he wanted to dare himself. He grinned and said “I dare myself to eat the sweetest treat on the plate!†So he bravely reached out and grabbed the sweetest one. It was so tasty! The monkey was proud of himself. He had dared himself and succeeded! +Sophie and Samuel were best friends. One day, Sophie asked Samuel if he wanted to play. He said "yes!" with a big smile on his face. + +They ran outside and lay down in the grass. It was so comfy and peaceful. All the noises from the town were far away. + +Suddenly, Sophie heard a noisy sound. It was coming from a nearby tree. She looked up and saw a bright orange bird in the branches. + +Sophie pointed to the bird and asked Samuel "What is that?" + +Samuel said "It's a parrot. He's never been here yet." + +They lay there, watching the parrot, until the noisy sound of the town got close again. Then they got up and ran back inside, happy to have seen the parrot. +Once upon a time, there was a generous witch. She would always help everyone in her village. One day, she asked everyone to join her for a special celebration. All the villagers were happy and so they joined in. + +But one little girl was sad. She didn't want to join because she was scared of the witch. Everyone noticed and tried to make her join in too. + +The witch was very generous. She saw the little girl was scared and so the witch decided to try and make her happy. The witch waved her magic wand and created a beautiful rainbow. The little girl was mesmerized and she decided to join in the celebration. + +The kind witch and the villagers celebrated all day. The little girl had a great time and was no longer scared of the witch. Everyone was so happy! +Jack was a little boy and he liked the outdoors. He liked to feel the sun on his face. He liked to spin around and around and laugh. +One day he went outside to play. He looked all around the ground, but he couldn't find anything to play with. Then he saw something pale in the grass. He bent down and picked it up. It was a pale feather! +Jack looked at it and smiled. He showed it to his mom and said, "Look mommy! I found a pale feather!" +His mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Jack. What are you going to do with it?" +Jack thought for a moment. Then he said, "I'm going to fly it up to the sky and watch it dance in the wind." He jumped up and said, "Come on, let's go!" +He and his mom walked outside, and he let the feather go. He watched it float away until it was a little pink dot in the sky. Jack smiled and said," Bye bye, pale feather!" +Once upon a time there were two best friends named Amy and John. Amy was 3 and John was 4. + +One day, Amy and John decided to go on a very special adventure. They walked through the park and saw a big, noisy cloud above them. They were so excited and started to jump around. + +Suddenly, Amy slipped and fell on the ground. John ran over and said, "Amy are you okay?" Amy was a bit scared but said, "Yes, I'm okay." + +John helped her up, and they kept walking. The cloud was getting bigger and bigger, and they could hear it getting noisier too. + +They both looked up and watched as the noisy cloud began to move away. They laughed and hugged, happy that their special adventure was over. +Sue and Sam were playing in the park. Sue was wearing her favourite purple boots. They were silly looking, but she liked them. + +"Let's turn around!" said Sam. + +"Yay!" said Sue. + +They both turned around in a big circle until they were dizzy and laughed. The purple boots twirled around and around. + +"Hey, look at me!" Sam shouted. + +"You look silly!" said Sue. + +They laughed and giggled as they turned around more and more until they collapsed onto the grass, still laughing. Sue's purple boots still twirled around and around until finally she stopped spinning. + +"Thanks for being silly with me, Sam," she said. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lily. She was three years old and full of energy. One day, she decided to go on an adventure and explore the garden. She walked around looking at everything, when suddenly she saw some grapes. + +The grapes were a deep purple and were so tight on the vine. Lily wanted to try one, so she reached out and plucked one off. It was so sweet and juicy! She quickly ate the grape, then decided to pick some more. + +Soon her pockets were full, so she decided to leave. She ran back to the house with all her grapes, proudly showing her mom her big surprise. + +Lily was so happy that she had gone on her adventure and found the grapes! She smiled and hugged her mom, and stored the rest of the grapes in the fridge. From that day forth, Lily was always excited for her next adventure in the garden. +Johnny was very happy. He was smiling from ear to ear. He was outside in the garden, looking at the trees. The leaves were thick and green. A caterpillar was crawling up the trunk. + +It was starting to get dark and Johnny saw a shelter in the corner. It was made of thick wood. He was lucky to have this shelter. He thought about how he could use it for his games in the future. + +Johnny was happy to be warm and safe in the shelter, so he smiled. It was nice to be cozy and sheltered from the dark. He looked up at the stars and smiled. + +He smiled, happy to feel so safe under the thick shelter. He was proud that he had such a nice place to call home. +Once upon a time, there was an otter named Bert. Bert was ready to go out and play with his friends that day, so he wiggled his happy feet and went out of his burrow. He stopped when he saw something amazing - a big, long rope that was hanging all the way down from a tall, green tree. + +Bert was excited, so he asked his friends, "What should we do?" His friends smiled and said, "Let's hang on the rope and swing!" + +Bert was very happy, he was ready and he wanted to try it out. So, he climbed onto the rope, stretched out his arms and legs and began to hang. + +Just then, a big, sneaky crocodile came out of its hiding spot. He wanted to get Bert! But Bert was too fast. + +He quickly scurried across the rope, grabbed hold of the tree branches, and swung up and away from the crocodile. + +Bert and his friends were safe, and they all cheered. Now they could hang on the rope and play without fear. Bert was ready to hang and play with his friends any day! +Once there was a flag that was in need of improvement. Everyone had tried to make it better but nothing seemed to work. Then a new idea came around. The idea was to be flexible. + +The flag was taken and put into a flexible frame. Everyone worked together and improved the frame until it was perfectly set up. + +Finally, the flag was hung in the frame and fluttered in the breeze. All the people in the town cheered and waved their flags with joy. The flag looked beautiful in its flexible frame. + +From then on, the people continued to improve the flag and the frame, making them brighter and more colourful every day. It was wonderful to see how the flag and frame got more and more flexible. + +The town was happy and the flag continued to fly. It was a great symbol of the town and everyone was proud of it. +Sam and Lily liked to go to the park with their mom. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun and made new friends. + +One day, it was very sunny and hot at the park. Sam and Lily wore their caps to protect their heads from the sun. But Sam's cap was too big for him and it kept falling off. He felt annoyed and sad. + +"Mom, can I have a new cap?" he asked. "This one is too big and it falls off all the time." + +Mom smiled and hugged Sam. "I'm sorry, Sam. I know you don't like your cap. But we don't have money to buy a new one right now. Maybe we can find a way to make it fit better." + +She took Sam's cap and looked at it. She saw a string inside the cap that could be pulled to make it smaller. She pulled the string and tied a knot. Then she put the cap back on Sam's head. + +"Is that better, Sam?" she asked. + +Sam felt his cap and nodded. It was not too big anymore. It was snug and comfortable. He smiled and thanked his mom. + +"Thank you, Mom. I like my cap now. It doesn't fall off anymore." + +He ran to Lily and showed her his cap. Lily was happy for him. They continued to play at the park with their caps on. They had a wonderful day. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big jeep in the park. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. They wanted to ride it and have fun. + +But the jeep was not theirs. It belonged to a man who worked in the park. He used it to carry things and help people. He left it there for a moment while he went to fix a bench. He did not know that Lily and Tom saw it. + +Lily and Tom climbed on the jeep and pretended to drive. They made loud noises and laughed. They did not see the man coming back. He was angry when he saw them. He said, "Hey, get off my jeep! You are not allowed to touch it. It is not a toy. It is useful for my work. You could break it or hurt yourselves." + +Lily and Tom felt scared and sorry. They got off the jeep and said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know it was yours. We just wanted to play. We will not do it again." + +The man said, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you should always ask before you use something that is not yours. And you should be careful with things that are not toys. They could be dangerous or important. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, sir. We understand. Thank you for being kind." + +The man smiled and said, "You are welcome. Now, why don't you go and play with something else? There is a big ball over there. You can bounce it and have fun." + +Lily and Tom ran to the ball and started to bounce it. They learned their lesson and had a good time. They never touched the jeep again. +Tom is a clever cat. He likes to catch mice and play with yarn. He lives with a nice lady who gives him milk and oat. He sleeps on a soft bed and purrs when she pets him. + +One day, Tom sees a new cat outside the window. The new cat is black and white and has a bell on his collar. He looks scared and hungry. Tom feels sorry for him and wants to be his friend. + +Tom meows to the lady and points to the window. The lady sees the new cat and smiles. She opens the door and says, "Hello, little cat. Do you want to come in? You are welcome here." She puts some milk and oat on a plate and sets it on the floor. + +The new cat is shy at first, but he smells the food and comes closer. He sees Tom and stops. Tom wags his tail and rubs his head against the new cat. He says, "Hi, I am Tom. You can share my food and bed. I will be your friend." + +The new cat is happy and grateful. He eats the food and licks his paws. He says, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you, lady. You are very kind. I am Sam. I was lost and cold. You saved me." + +Tom and Sam cuddle on the bed and purr. The lady watches them and smiles. She says, "You are both clever and sweet cats. I am glad you found each other. You are my new family." +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have bikes and helmets. They always wear their helmets when they ride their bikes. + +One day, they see a big scale in the park. It is for weighing people and things. Sam and Mia are curious. They want to know how much they weigh. + +"Let's weigh ourselves!" Sam says. He puts his bike on the ground and climbs on the scale. The scale shows a number. "I weigh 15!" Sam says. He is happy. + +"My turn!" Mia says. She puts her bike on the ground and climbs on the scale. The scale shows a number. "I weigh 14!" Mia says. She is happy too. + +They weigh their bikes and their helmets too. They have fun with the scale. + +After a while, they are hungry. They see a truck in the park. It sells ice cream. They love ice cream. They run to the truck. + +"Can we have some ice cream, please?" Sam and Mia ask. The truck man smiles. He gives them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. They choose their favorite flavors. + +"Thank you!" Sam and Mia say. They pay the truck man with their coins. They lick their ice cream. It is delicious. They are happy. + +They sit on a bench and enjoy their ice cream. They talk about their bikes and their helmets and their weights. They are good friends. They have a good day. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big forest behind their house. They wanted to explore it and find new things. + +"Let's go to the forest, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can see some animals or flowers." + +"OK, Anna, but we have to be careful. The forest is big and dark. And we have to come back before dinner." Ben said. + +They took their backpacks and walked to the forest. They saw many trees and bushes and rocks. They heard some birds and squirrels. They felt happy and curious. + +But after a while, they got lost. They could not find the way back to their house. They did not see any signs or paths. They started to worry. + +"Anna, I'm scared. We don't know where we are. What if we can't find our way back?" Ben said. + +"Don't worry, Ben. We have each other. And we have our backpacks. Maybe we can use something to help us." Anna said. + +She opened her backpack and looked inside. She had a sandwich, a bottle of water, a book, a crayon, and a toy car. She thought hard. + +"I have an idea, Ben. We can use the toy car. It is expensive and shiny. Maybe someone will see it and help us." Anna said. + +She took out the toy car and threw it as far as she could. It landed on a big rock and made a loud noise. It also flashed some lights. + +"Good job, Anna. Maybe someone will hear or see the toy car. Let's wait here and hope for the best." Ben said. + +They hugged each other and waited. They hoped that their mom and dad would find them soon. They hoped that the toy car would save them. They hoped that the forest would not be too scary. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their navy ball. They liked to kick it and catch it and roll it on the grass. But then a big boy came and took their ball. He ran away with it and laughed. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouted. "Give it back!" + +Lily shouted too. "You are mean! We want our ball!" + +The big boy did not listen. He kept running until he reached a big tree. He threw the ball behind the tree and hid there. + +Tom and Lily ran after him. They wanted to get their ball back. But when they got to the tree, they saw something mysterious. There was a hole in the ground behind the tree. And the ball was inside the hole. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it's a secret tunnel." + +They looked at the hole. It was dark and scary. They wondered what was inside. + +"Should we go in?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it's dangerous." + +They heard a noise from the hole. It sounded like a growl. + +"Roar!" The big boy jumped out of the hole. He had mud on his face and leaves in his hair. He looked like a monster. + +"Boo!" He shouted. "I scared you!" + +Tom and Lily screamed. They were very afraid. They ran away from the hole and the big boy. They did not want to play with him anymore. + +They ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave. + +They gave them a new ball. It was red and shiny. They liked it better than the navy ball. + +They played with the new ball and forgot about the big boy and the hole. They had fun and were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a picture of a robot on it. Sara and Ben are curious. They open the box and see a shiny, modern robot. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It has buttons and lights and sounds. Let's test it!" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. "We don't know what it can do." + +Sara and Ben take the robot out of the box. They put batteries in it and turn it on. The robot makes a beep and says, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your new friend. What is your name?" + +Sara and Ben are happy. They tell the robot their names and ask it questions. The robot answers them and tells them jokes. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Robo, you are so fun!" Sara says. "Can you do tricks?" + +"Sure, I can do many tricks," Robo says. "Watch this!" + +Robo starts to spin and dance. He shoots sparks from his hands and feet. He makes loud noises and flashes his eyes. Sara and Ben are amazed. They cheer and clap louder. + +But then, something goes wrong. Robo spins too fast and bumps into the table. He knocks over a vase and breaks it. He also breaks his own wires and circuits. He stops spinning and dancing. He makes a sad sound and says, "Oops, I am sorry. I am broken. Goodbye." + +Sara and Ben are shocked. They look at the mess and the broken robot. They feel sad and scared. They hear their mom coming. + +"Oh no, mom is here!" Sara says. "What do we do?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we can hide the robot and the vase." + +But it is too late. Mom sees the box, the robot, the vase, and the twins. She is angry and surprised. + +"Sara and Ben, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is not your toy. This is dad's new gadget. He was going to test it for his work. How did you get it?" + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They tell mom the truth. They say they were curious and wanted to play with the robot. They say they did not mean to break it or the vase. They say they are sorry. + +Mom is still angry, but she is also calm. She hugs Sara and Ben and says, "I know you are sorry, but you should not touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves or the robot. You should always ask before you play with something new. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry." + +Mom says, "OK, I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up this mess and apologize to dad. And no more playing with robots until you are older. OK?" + +Sara and Ben say, "OK, mom. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now, let's go and see if we can fix Robo. Maybe he can still be your friend someday." +Ben and Mia like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with their blocks and zoom their cars around. Sometimes they have races and see who is faster. + +One day, they find a big circle in the garage. It is shiny and has a hole in the middle. Ben says, "What is this? Can we play with it?" Mia says, "I don't know. Maybe it is a wheel for a big car. Let's try it." + +They roll the circle to the backyard. They take turns pushing it and running after it. The circle is very fast and makes a loud noise. They laugh and have fun. They try to make the circle turn left and right, but it is hard. They have to push it very hard. + +They see a big tree in the corner of the yard. They decide to make the circle go around the tree. Ben pushes the circle first. He runs with it and tries to make it turn. But the circle is too big and too fast. It hits the tree and bounces back. Ben falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Mia runs to him and says, "Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry. It was an accident." She helps him get up and hugs him. She says, "Let's go inside and get a band-aid. And some juice. And a cookie. Then we can play with our cars again. Okay?" + +Ben nods and says, "Okay. Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister." They leave the circle in the yard and go inside. They are happy and forget about the circle. They play with their cars and make open roads with their blocks. They are careful not to make their cars hit the tree. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. But today they disagree. Lily wants to go to the party. Ben does not want to go. + +"Why not?" Lily asks. "The party will be fun. There will be cake and games and balloons." + +"I don't like parties," Ben says. "They are too loud and too crowded. I want to stay home and read my book." + +Lily is sad. She wants Ben to come with her. She tries to make him change his mind. + +"Please, Ben," she says. "The party is for Mia. She is our friend too. She will be happy if you come. And maybe you will like the party. You can play with me and the other kids." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to go. He likes his book. He likes to be quiet and alone. + +"No, thank you," he says. "You can go to the party. I will stay here. Maybe we can play later." + +Lily is not happy. She thinks Ben is being silly and rude. She does not understand why he does not want to go. She thinks he will miss the fun. + +"Fine," she says. "I will go to the party. But I will not play with you later. You are not a good friend." + +She leaves the house. She slams the door. Ben hears her go. He feels sad too. He likes Lily. He does not want to make her angry. But he does not like parties. + +He looks out the window. He sees Lily walking to the party. She is wearing a pink dress and a bow. She looks pretty. He sees the sun shining and the birds singing. He sees the party house. It is decorated with colorful streamers and balloons. He hears the music and the laughter. He wonders if he is missing the fun. + +He looks at his book. It is gray and boring. He does not want to read it anymore. He wants to play with Lily and the other kids. He wants to be a good friend. + +He puts down his book. He runs out of the house. He calls Lily's name. He hopes she will hear him. He hopes she will forgive him. He hopes he can still go to the party. +Lily and Tom were jolly children who liked to play with their toy cars. They had a big box full of different cars, trucks, buses and trains. They liked to drive them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table and on the bed. + +One day, they decided to play a game. They pretended that they were police cars and they had to catch a bad car that was making a threat. The bad car was a red sports car that belonged to their older brother, Ben. Ben was not at home, so they took his car without asking. + +They drove their police cars around the house, making siren noises and saying "Stop, bad car! You are under arrest!" They chased the red car from the living room to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the bathroom, from the bathroom to the bedroom. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard the door open. It was Ben, coming back from school. He saw his red car on the floor, with Lily and Tom's police cars behind it. He was very angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my car?" he shouted. "That's mine, not yours! Give it back to me, now!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They knew they had done something wrong. They quickly gave the red car back to Ben and said they were sorry. + +"We were just playing, Ben. We didn't mean to hurt your car. Please don't be mad at us," they said. + +Ben looked at his car. It was not broken or scratched. He sighed and calmed down. + +"OK, I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take my car. And don't drive it on the bed, it's not good for it. Here, you can play with this one instead. It's a blue truck. It's very cool," he said. + +He gave them the blue truck and smiled. Lily and Tom smiled back. They thanked Ben and hugged him. They were happy again. They drove the blue truck with their police cars and continued their game. They were jolly children. +Lily loved to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, and many other things. She liked to draw her imaginations on paper and show them to her mom and dad. They always smiled and praised her. + +One day, Lily's dad took her to his work. He worked in a factory that made toys. Lily was very excited to see how toys were made. She thought it would be like her imaginations, with bright colors and happy sounds. + +But when they got to the factory, Lily was disappointed. It was a big, gray building with harsh noises and smells. The workers looked tired and bored. They did not smile or talk much. Lily's dad showed her the machines that made the toys. They were loud and fast and scary. Lily did not like them. + +"Dad, why do you work here?" Lily asked. "It is not fun at all." + +Lily's dad sighed. He hugged her and said, "I work here because I love you, Lily. I want to give you a good life. I want you to have toys and books and clothes and food. I want you to be happy and healthy. Sometimes, we have to do things we don't like to help the ones we love." + +Lily felt sad for her dad. She wished he could work in a place he liked. She wished he could imagine things like she did. She said, "I love you too, dad. Thank you for working so hard. But you know what? You don't have to give me toys. I have enough toys. I can imagine anything I want with them. And I can share them with you. We can imagine together. That would make me happier than anything." + +Lily's dad smiled. He kissed her and said, "You are very wise, Lily. And very kind. You have a big heart and a big imagination. I am proud of you. And you are right. We can imagine together. That would make me happier too." + +They left the factory and went home. They played with Lily's toys and imagined many things. They laughed and hugged and had fun. They were happy. +Lily liked muffins very much. She liked to eat them for breakfast with her mommy and daddy. She liked to eat them with jam or butter or honey. She liked to eat them when they were warm and soft and yummy. + +One day, Lily saw a new muffin in the kitchen. It was big and round and brown. It had nuts and seeds on top. It looked different from the muffins she usually ate. Lily was curious. She wanted to try the new muffin. + +She asked her mommy, "Mommy, can I have this muffin?" + +Her mommy said, "No, Lily, that muffin is not for you. That muffin is for daddy. He needs to eat healthy muffins because he is chubby. He wants to change and be fit and strong." + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why her daddy was chubby. She did not understand why he wanted to change. She loved her daddy the way he was. She thought he was cuddly and funny and kind. + +She said, "But mommy, I love daddy. I love his chubby tummy. I love his chubby cheeks. I love his chubby hugs. I don't want him to change. Can I share the muffin with him?" + +Her mommy smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are very sweet. Daddy loves you too. He does not want to change his love for you. He only wants to change his muffin. He thinks the healthy muffin will make him feel better and have more energy. But he will always be your daddy, no matter what muffin he eats. And he will always love your muffins, no matter what they look like. How about we make some muffins together? You can choose the ingredients and the shapes and the colors. And then we can surprise daddy with them. What do you say?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the idea of making muffins with her mommy. She liked the idea of surprising her daddy. She liked the idea of eating muffins with her family. She said, "Yes, mommy, let's make muffins. I want to make blueberry muffins. And heart-shaped muffins. And rainbow muffins. And I want to give them to daddy and tell him I love him." + +Her mommy said, "That sounds wonderful, Lily. Let's go to the store and buy some blueberries and some food coloring and some sprinkles. And then let's go to the kitchen and have some fun. And then let's go to the living room and wait for daddy to come home. And then let's eat muffins and be happy." + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She liked muffins very much. She liked to eat them with her mommy and daddy. She liked to eat them with love and joy and gratitude. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. One day, they saw an elderly lady sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely. + +"Let's go and say hello to her," Tim said. "Maybe we can make her happy." + +"OK," Lily agreed. They ran to the bench and smiled at the lady. + +"Hello, we are Tim and Lily. What is your name?" Tim asked. + +"Hello, Tim and Lily. I am Mrs. Lee. You are very kind to talk to me," the lady said. + +"Why are you sad, Mrs. Lee?" Lily asked. + +"I am sad because I miss my husband. He passed away last year. He used to come to the park with me and we enjoyed the view of the trees and the flowers. Now I have no one to share the view with," Mrs. Lee said. + +Tim and Lily felt sorry for Mrs. Lee. They wanted to help her. + +"Mrs. Lee, we can share the view with you. We can sit with you and talk to you. We can be your friends," Tim said. + +"Yes, Mrs. Lee, we can support you. We can make you laugh and feel better. We can be your family," Lily said. + +Mrs. Lee smiled and hugged Tim and Lily. She felt happy and grateful. + +"Thank you, Tim and Lily. You are very sweet and generous. You have made my day. You are my friends and my family," Mrs. Lee said. + +Tim and Lily were happy too. They learned that they could make a difference in someone's life by being kind and supportive. They also learned that they could learn a lot from the elderly, who had many stories and wisdom to share. They decided to visit Mrs. Lee often and enjoy the view with her. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind and supportive to the elderly, they need your friendship and you can learn from them. +Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was always messy and their mom was not happy. + +One day, mom said, "Jenny and Tom, you need to clean your room. It is too dirty and you can lose your things. If you do not clean your room, I will not permit you to go to the park and have ice cream." + +Jenny and Tom did not want to miss the park and the ice cream. They loved to swing and slide and eat cold and sweet cream. They decided to work together and make their room organized. + +They picked up their toys and put them in the boxes. They stacked their books on the shelf. They made their beds and folded their clothes. They even dusted and swept the floor. + +When they were done, they called mom and said, "Mom, look at our room. We cleaned it and made it organized. Can we go to the park and have ice cream now?" + +Mom came and saw their room. She was very proud and happy. She said, "Wow, Jenny and Tom, you did a great job. Your room looks nice and neat. I am very pleased with you. Yes, you can go to the park and have ice cream. You earned it." She gave them a hug and a kiss and took them to the park. Jenny and Tom had a lot of fun and enjoyed their cream. They learned that cleaning their room was not so hard and that it made mom happy. +Sara and Ben like to play pirates. They have a big box that they pretend is a ship. They wear hats and scarves and say "Arrr!" a lot. They also have a map that shows them where to find treasure. + +One day, they decide to follow the map to the treasure. They take their box outside and drag it across the grass. They look at the map and see that they have to go past the swing, under the tree, and over the hill. They work hard to move their box along the way. + +When they get to the hill, they see a big rock with a red X on it. They think that is where the treasure is. They push their box to the rock and look around. They see a hole under the rock. They lift the rock and see a shiny metal box inside the hole. They pull the box out and open it. + +Inside the box, they find many things. They find coins and jewels and necklaces and rings. They also find a lemon and a bottle of vinegar. They think these are also treasure. They are very happy and excited. They take out the lemon and the vinegar and try them. + +But they do not like them. The lemon and the vinegar are very sour. They make their faces twist and their mouths pucker. They spit them out and say "Yuck!" They do not want these treasure. They put them back in the box and close it. + +They decide to keep the other treasure. They lay them on a blanket and look at them. They think they are very pretty and shiny. They pretend they are rich and famous pirates. They have fun playing with their treasure. They forget about the sour treasure. They are happy. +Lily liked to play with her guitar. She had a red guitar that made nice sounds when she strummed it. She played it every day in her room. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her guitar and wanted to play with it too. He grabbed it from her hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She chased him down the hall. "That's my guitar!" + +Max ran into the kitchen and hid behind the table. He laughed and stuck out his tongue. He tried to play the guitar, but he did not know how. He made loud and bad sounds. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Lily cried. She reached for the guitar, but Max pushed her away. He knocked over a bowl of soup on the table. The soup spilled all over the guitar and the floor. The guitar was filthy. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said. She was very sad and angry. She wanted to rest, but she could not. Her guitar was ruined. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the children. She was not happy. + +"What's going on here?" she asked. She looked at the guitar and the soup. She shook her head. + +"Max took my guitar and made it filthy!" Lily said. + +"I just wanted to play with it!" Max said. + +Mom sighed. She took the guitar and the soup. She cleaned them with a cloth. She gave the guitar back to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Your guitar is still good. You can play with it again." she said. + +She looked at Max. "Max, you need to say sorry to Lily. You can't take things that are not yours. And you can't make a mess in the kitchen. You need to help me clean it up." she said. + +Max pouted. He did not want to say sorry or clean up. But he knew he was wrong. He looked at Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I won't take your guitar again." he said. + +Lily nodded. She was still mad, but she forgave him. She hugged her guitar. + +"Thank you, Mom. Can I go to my room and rest?" she asked. + +Mom smiled. "Yes, you can. But first, give me a kiss." she said. + +Lily kissed her mom. She went to her room and rested. She played her guitar softly and sang a song. She was happy. +Sara was a pupil in the big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But there was one boy who was not nice to her. His name was Tom. He always ignored her when she said hello or asked him to share. He made fun of her clothes and her hair. He made her feel sad and angry. + +One day, Sara brought her furry toy cat to school. She loved her cat very much. She named her Fluffy and hugged her all the time. She wanted to show Fluffy to her friends and teacher. But Tom saw her cat and snatched it from her. He said, "What a silly toy! Cats are stupid and ugly. You are stupid and ugly too." He threw Fluffy on the floor and kicked her. + +Sara cried and ran to pick up Fluffy. She checked if Fluffy was hurt. She was not. She was still soft and warm. Sara hugged Fluffy and said, "Don't worry, Fluffy. You are not stupid or ugly. You are smart and beautiful. And I love you very much. Tom is mean and rude. He does not know how to be nice or kind. We will ignore him. He does not deserve our attention." + +Sara's teacher saw what happened and came to Sara. She said, "Sara, are you okay? I'm sorry that Tom was so mean to you. He should not have taken your cat or said those things. He needs to learn how to respect others and their feelings. I will talk to him and his parents. You did the right thing by ignoring him. You are a brave and sweet pupil. And your cat is very cute and furry. Can I see her?" + +Sara smiled and nodded. She showed Fluffy to her teacher and her friends. They all said nice things about Fluffy and Sara. They asked Sara if they could play with Fluffy and Sara. Sara said yes. She was happy to share Fluffy and her friendship. She forgot about Tom and his mean words. She had fun with her furry toy cat and her kind friends. She learned that ignoring mean people and being nice to good people was the best way to be happy. +Tom was a curious cat. He liked to play with anything that moved. One day, he saw a big dog sleeping in the sun. The dog had a long, fluffy tail that wagged a little. Tom wanted to touch the tail. He thought it would be fun. + +He crept closer and closer to the dog. He reached out his paw and tapped the tail. The dog did not wake up. Tom tapped again. The tail wagged more. Tom smiled. He grabbed the tail and pulled hard. He wanted to steal the tail. + +The dog woke up with a loud bark. He was angry. He saw Tom holding his tail. He jumped up and chased Tom. Tom was scared. He let go of the tail and ran away. But the dog was faster. He caught Tom and bit him. Tom cried out in pain. + +"Bad cat! That's my tail! You can't steal my tail!" the dog growled. + +Tom wished he had not been so curious. He wished he had left the dog alone. He learned a hard lesson. Stealing is wrong. And tails are not toys. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build houses, towers, bridges and cars. One day, they have a new idea. They want to build a maze with blocks. A maze is a big puzzle with many paths and walls. You have to find the way out. + +They start to put blocks on the floor. They make long and short paths. They make turns and dead ends. They make a big maze with many blocks. They are happy and proud of their original maze. Original means something new and different. + +They decide to play a game. Anna will go inside the maze and try to find the way out. Ben will watch from outside and give her clues. Give means to share or help. Clues are words or signs that help you solve a puzzle. + +Anna goes inside the maze. She walks and looks around. She sees many blocks and walls. She does not know where to go. She says, "Ben, I need a clue!" + +Ben looks at the maze. He sees where Anna is. He sees where the exit is. He thinks of a clue. He says, "Anna, go to the path that has a red block. Then turn left." + +Anna hears Ben. She looks for the red block. She finds it. She turns left. She sees another path. She says, "Thank you, Ben! What is the next clue?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Anna! The next clue is: go to the path that has a yellow block. Then turn right." + +Anna follows Ben's clue. She goes to the yellow block. She turns right. She sees the exit. She says, "I did it! I found the way out!" + +Ben claps. He says, "You did it, Anna! You are very smart and brave! You solved the maze!" + +Anna runs to Ben. She hugs him. She says, "You are very kind and clever, Ben! You gave me good clues! You made the maze!" + +They laugh and hug. They are happy. They like to play with blocks. They like to make and solve mazes. They are good friends. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys. They have a duck, a boat, a frog and a ball. They splash and laugh. + +One day, Mom gives them a new bottle of shampoo. It is pink and shiny. It smells like flowers. Lily and Max want to try it. Mom says, "You can use it, but be careful. Don't put it in your eyes. It will hurt." + +Lily and Max nod. They take turns to wash their hair. They squeeze the bottle and make bubbles. They rub their hair and rinse it. They feel clean and soft. + +But then, Max has an idea. He says, "Lily, look at this. I can shake the bottle and make more bubbles." He shakes the bottle hard. The lid pops off. Shampoo flies everywhere. It lands on their faces, on the toys, on the wall, on the floor. + +Lily and Max are shocked. They close their eyes. They cough and sneeze. They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They think Mom will be mad. + +But Mom is not mad. She is surprised. She sees the mess. She sees Lily and Max. They look like pink snowmen. She laughs. She says, "Oh, you two. You are so lucky. You made a shampoo party. But now, we have to clean up. Come on, let's wash again." + +Lily and Max are happy. They are not in trouble. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love the shampoo. But next time, we won't shake it." +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with many ducks. Sam and Mia want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bags. + +"Look, Mia, ducks!" Sam says. He runs to the pond and throws some bread. The ducks swim to him and eat the bread. "They are so cute!" + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Mia says. She follows Sam and throws some bread too. The ducks swim to her and eat the bread. "They are so friendly!" + +Sam and Mia have fun with the ducks. They laugh and clap. They want to touch the ducks. They try to get closer to the pond. + +"Be careful, Sam and Mia!" a voice says. It is their mom. She is watching them from a bench. "The pond is deep. You might fall in." + +Sam and Mia stop. They look at their mom. They know she is right. She is dependable. She always takes care of them. + +"Okay, mom," Sam says. He steps back from the pond. "We will not touch the ducks. We will just watch them." + +"Okay, mom," Mia says. She steps back from the pond too. "We will not touch the ducks. We will just feed them." + +Sam and Mia smile at their mom. They love their mom. They love the ducks too. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins, but they were very different. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lily liked to play with dolls and dresses. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old clothes and things. + +"Let's play dress up!" Lily said. She took out a hat, a coat, and a belt with a shiny buckle. She put them on and looked in the mirror. "I am a pirate!" she said. + +"No, you are not!" Tom said. He took out a helmet, a vest, and a sword. He put them on and looked in the mirror. "I am a knight!" he said. + +They started to pretend to fight, but they were too loud. Mom came to the garage and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are making too much noise and you are ruining the clothes!" + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They took off the clothes and put them back in the box. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. "It's okay to play, but you have to be careful and quiet," she said. "Why don't you go to your room and read a book?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and went to their room. They each picked a book from their shelf. Tom chose a book about cars and trucks, and Lily chose a book about dolls and dresses. They lay on their beds and read their books. They were different, but they were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box that they filled with shiny things and hid under the sofa. + +"Let's go find our treasure, matey!" Ben said, putting on a hat and a hook. + +"Arrr, yes, let's go!" Anna agreed, grabbing a sword and a map. + +They crawled under the sofa and lifted the box. They opened it and smiled at their treasure. There were coins, necklaces, rings, and a big knob that looked like a diamond. + +"Wow, look at this knob! It's so pretty and sparkly!" Anna said, holding it up. + +"It's the most valuable thing in our treasure! It's the pirate king's knob!" Ben said, admiring it. + +"Can I have it, please? I really like it!" Anna asked, looking at Ben with big eyes. + +Ben hesitated. He liked the knob too, but he also liked Anna. He wanted to make her happy. + +"Okay, you can have it. But you have to promise me something," he said, handing her the knob. + +"What do I have to promise?" Anna asked, taking the knob. + +"You have to promise to always be my friend and share our treasure. And you have to promise to never lose the knob. It's very special and rare," Ben said, looking at her with a serious face. + +"I promise, I promise!" Anna said, nodding her head. "You are my best friend and I will always share our treasure. And I will never lose the knob. I will keep it safe and close to me." + +They hugged and smiled. They put the knob back in the box and closed it. They crawled out from under the sofa and continued to play. They were happy and proud of their treasure and their promise. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Every morning, they gather their toys and go to the park. They have fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. + +One morning, Lily and Tom are sad. They cannot go to the park. It is raining. The sky is gray and the ground is wet. They look out the window and see the park. It is empty and quiet. They miss the park. + +Lily and Tom decide to play inside. They gather their books and their crayons. They read stories and draw pictures. They make a tent with a blanket and a chair. They pretend they are in the park. They laugh and have fun. + +The rain stops. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. Lily and Tom are happy. They gather their toys and go to the park. They see their friends and play together. They have fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They love the park. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily invites Ben to her house. She says, "Do you want to come to my house and play? I have a new puzzle and some cookies." + +Ben says, "Yes, I want to come. Thank you for inviting me, Lily. You are a good friend." + +They go to Lily's house and have fun. They do the puzzle and eat the cookies. They also play with Lily's doll and Ben's car. They are cheerful and laugh a lot. + +But then, they hear a noise. It is water dripping from the ceiling. There is a leak in the roof. Lily's mom comes and sees the leak. She says, "Oh no, there is a leak. We have to fix it. Lily, Ben, can you help me?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we can help you, mom. What can we do?" + +Lily's mom says, "You can get some towels and buckets and put them under the leak. That will catch the water and keep the floor dry. Then, I will call the plumber and he will come and fix the leak." + +Lily and Ben do what Lily's mom says. They get the towels and buckets and put them under the leak. They work together and help Lily's mom. They are helpful and kind. + +Lily's mom says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very good helpers. I am proud of you.

They also learn that leaks are not fun, but they can be fixed. They are good friends, good helpers, and good neighbors. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pear tree with many ripe pears on it. They wanted to pick some pears to eat, but the tree was too tall for them. + +"Let's get a ladder," said Lily. + +"No, let's climb the tree," said Ben. + +They argued for a while, but Ben was more stubborn. He ran to the tree and started to climb. Lily followed him, but she was scared. + +"Be careful, Ben," she said. "The branches are thin and the pears are heavy." + +Ben did not listen. He reached for a big pear, but he lost his balance. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. He hurt his arm and his head. He cried out loud. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him, but also angry. + +"See, Ben, I told you to be careful. You are silly and reckless. Now you are hurt and we have no pears." + +Ben sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to get a pear for us. They are sweet and healthy." + +Lily felt sorry for him too. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, let's listen to each other and be safe. Come on, let's go to Mom. She will make you feel better." + +They held hands and walked to the house. On the way, they saw a basket of pears on the porch. Mom had picked some pears for them from the tree. She smiled and said, "Look, kids, I have a surprise for you. Some fresh and healthy pears. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They ate some pears and shared them with Mom. They were sweet and juicy. They felt happy and grateful. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful, to listen, and to share. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. He asks Anna to help him. + +"No, let's not open it," Anna says. She has a different opinion. She thinks the box is a secret. She wants to sit on it and pretend it is a castle. + +Ben is not happy. He wants to see what is inside the box. He thinks it is a treasure. He does not want to sit on it and pretend it is a castle. + +They start to argue. They say mean words to each other. They do not want to share the box. + +Then, they hear a voice from inside the box. It says, "Hello, can you please let me out?" + +They are surprised. They stop arguing. They look at each other. They wonder who is in the box. + +They decide to open the lid together. They are curious. They are also a little scared. + +They lift the lid and see a big dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He says, "Thank you for freeing me. I was stuck in the box. I was looking for a new home. Can I be your friend?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like the dog. They forget their fight. They agree to share the box and the dog. They give the dog a name. They call him Boxer. They play with him and the box. They have fun. They are friends again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, they play pretend with dolls and cars. + +"Let's make the dolls marry," Sara says. She picks up a doll with a pink dress and a doll with a blue shirt. "This is the bride and this is the groom." + +"OK," Ben says. He picks up a car and makes it drive to the dolls. "This is the taxi. It takes them to the church." + +They make the dolls walk to a cardboard box. The box is the church. Sara and Ben say the words they hear on TV. + +"Do you take this doll to be your wife?" Sara asks. + +"I do," Ben says. + +"Do you take this doll to be your husband?" Ben asks. + +"I do," Sara says. + +They make the dolls kiss. Then they clap their hands. + +"Yay, they are married!" Sara says. + +"Can I ask you something?" Ben says. + +"Sure, what is it?" Sara says. + +"Do you want to marry me when we grow up?" Ben says. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes Ben, but she does not know what marry means. + +"What is marry?" Sara says. + +Ben thinks too. He does not know what marry means either. He just knows that people who love each other do it. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "But I think it is when you live together and share everything and hug a lot." + +Sara smiles. She likes to live and share and hug. + +"OK, then I want to marry you," Sara says. + +Ben smiles too. He hugs Sara. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They are happy. They do not know that marry is more than that. They do not know that they need a brain to marry. They do not know that their brain is not normal. They do not know that they have a disease that makes their brain grow too fast and too big. They do not know that they will not live long. They do not know that they will never grow up. They only know that they love each other. And that is enough. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish, crabs and shells. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily pointed to a big, clear thing that floated near the shore. It had long, thin parts that moved in the waves. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks like a balloon with strings. Maybe it is a toy that someone left here." Ben said. + +They ran to the thing and touched it. It felt soft and wet. They tried to pick it up, but it slipped from their hands. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She showed it to Ben. It had a red mark on it. + +"What happened, Lily? Did you hurt yourself?" Ben asked. + +"I think the thing bit me, Ben. It hurts a lot. Let's go to mom and dad." Lily said. + +They ran to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket. They told them what they saw and what they did. + +"That was not a toy, Ben and Lily. That was a jellyfish. A jellyfish is an animal that lives in the sea. It has stingers that can hurt you if you touch them. You have to be careful and stay away from them." Mom said. + +She took Lily's finger and put some cream on it. She gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Does it feel better, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"A little bit, mom. But it still feels spicy, like when I eat hot sauce." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. The cream will help it heal. Next time, we will look at the jellyfish from far away, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry, too. I didn't know it was a jellyfish. I wonder why it has stingers. Does it use them to catch food?" Ben asked. + +"That's a good question, Ben. Maybe we can find a book about jellyfish and learn more about them. Would you like that?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, dad. I would like that. I like to learn new things." Ben said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach, but they did not touch any more jellyfish. They learned to respect the animals that live in the sea. +Lily likes to wear her pink dress. It has flowers and ribbons on it. She feels pretty and happy when she wears it. She wears it to go to the park with her mom and dad. + +At the park, she sees many things. She sees birds and dogs and trees and swings. She likes the sight of the park. It makes her smile and laugh. She runs and plays with her mom and dad. + +She also sees a boy. He wears a blue shirt and jeans. He has a ball and a hat. He looks at Lily and smiles. He says, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily is shy. She does not know Ben. She holds her mom's hand. She says, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your ball and hat." + +Ben is gentle. He does not push or shout. He says, "Thank you. I like your dress. It is pretty. Do you want to share my ball and hat?" + +Lily nods. She lets go of her mom's hand. She says, "Yes, please. Thank you. Can we be friends?" + +Ben says, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's play." + +Lily and Ben play with the ball and hat. They have fun. They are gentle and kind to each other. They are friends. Lily's mom and dad watch them. They are happy. They like the sight of Lily and Ben. They think they are sweet and cute. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They wanted to bake a cake for their mom's birthday. Lily was bossy and told Tom what to do. She said, "You mix the flour and the eggs. I will put the sugar and the butter. Then we will put it in the oven." + +Tom did what Lily said, but he was not happy. He wanted to do more things. He said, "Lily, can I put some chocolate chips and sprinkles on the cake? It will make it more yummy." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. You don't know how to bake. You will make a mess. Just do what I say. I know best." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He thought, "Lily is not nice. She is not a good sister. She does not let me have fun." + +When the cake was in the oven, Lily went to the living room to watch TV. She said, "Tom, you stay here and watch the cake. Don't touch anything. I will be back soon." + +Tom was bored and curious. He saw a big jar of honey on the counter. He thought, "Honey is sweet and sticky. Maybe it will make the cake better. Lily will not know. I will just put a little bit." + +He opened the jar and poured some honey on the cake. But he poured too much. The honey dripped down the sides of the cake and onto the oven. It started to smoke and smell bad. Tom was scared. He ran to the living room and called Lily. + +Lily came back and saw the smoke and the honey. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined the cake. You are so naughty. Mom will be mad at us." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to make the cake better. You were so bossy and mean. You did not let me help you. You did not share with me." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Tom. I was not a good sister. I did not listen to you. I did not respect you. We should have worked together and had fun." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They turned off the oven and cleaned up the mess. They decided to bake a new cake with chocolate chips and sprinkles. They shared the tasks and the ideas. They had fun and learned a lesson. They made a beautiful and delicious cake for their mom. Their mom was happy and proud of them. She said, "You are the best twins ever. You baked a wonderful cake. You are so kind and smart. I love you very much." + +The end. +Tom and Amy were going to fly in a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and went to the airport. + +But when they got there, they saw a lot of people waiting and looking sad. Mom and Dad checked the big board and said, "Oh no, our plane is delayed. We have to wait for a long time." + +Tom and Amy did not like waiting. They wanted to fly in the big plane and see the clouds and the birds. They asked Mom and Dad, "Why is our plane delayed? When can we go?" + +Mom and Dad said, "There is a problem with the weather. It is very windy and stormy. The plane cannot fly safely in the sky. We have to wait until the weather is better." + +Tom and Amy were bored and restless. They tried to play with their toys, but they did not have much space. They tried to read their books, but they did not have much light. They tried to watch the other planes, but they did not see many. + +They saw a man who was talking very loud and angry. He was waving his arms and shouting at the people who worked at the airport. He said, "This is crazy! I have to fly now! I have a very important meeting! You have to let me on the plane!" + +The people who worked at the airport tried to calm him down. They said, "Sir, please be patient. We are sorry for the delay, but we cannot control the weather. We are doing our best to help you and the other passengers. Please wait in your seat and we will let you know when the plane is ready." + +But the man did not listen. He kept yelling and making a fuss. He tried to push his way to the gate. He said, "I don't care about the weather! I don't care about the safety! I don't care about the rules! I have to fly now!" + +Tom and Amy watched the man and felt scared. They did not like his voice and his face. They did not understand why he was so crazy. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "We don't want to fly with that man. He is not nice. He is not fun. He is not smart." + +Mom and Dad hugged them back and said, "Don't worry, sweeties. We won't fly with that man. He is not going to the same place as us. He is going to a different plane. And he is going to get in trouble for being so rude and mean. We are going to fly in our plane when it is safe and ready. And we are going to have a wonderful time. We love you very much." + +Tom and Amy felt better and said, "We love you too, Mom and Dad. We are sorry for the delay, but we are happy to be with you. We hope the weather gets better soon. We hope the plane flies soon. We hope the man learns to be nice soon." +Tom likes to walk with his horse. His horse is big and brown and has a soft nose. Tom gives his horse grass and water and hugs him every day. His horse is his best friend. + +One day, Tom and his horse walk to the park. They see many flowers and birds and trees. Tom is happy and sings a song. His horse is happy and makes a noise. They walk slow and enjoy the sun. + +But then, a big truck comes. The truck is loud and fast and scary. Tom and his horse do not see the truck. The truck does not see them. The truck hits them and they fall down. Tom and his horse are hurt and bleed. They cry and feel pain. + +The truck stops and the driver gets out. He is sorry and calls for help. He tries to help Tom and his horse, but it is too late. Tom and his horse die. They do not walk or sing or hug anymore. They are gone. + +The end. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, giraffes, and elephants. But their favorite was the monkey house. They liked to watch the monkeys swing, jump, and play. + +"Look, mom, that monkey is so graceful!" Anna said, pointing to a brown monkey that moved from branch to branch with ease. + +"Yes, he is, honey. He is a spider monkey. They have long arms and tails that help them balance and reach for fruits and nuts," mom explained. + +"I want to feed him!" Ben said, holding a banana in his hand. He walked closer to the cage, but mom stopped him. + +"No, Ben, you can't do that. The monkeys have their own food, and they might get sick or bite you if you give them yours," mom said. + +"But I want to!" Ben said, and tried to pull away from mom. He refused to listen to her. + +Suddenly, the spider monkey saw the banana and reached out his hand. He grabbed the banana from Ben and peeled it. He made a loud noise and showed his teeth. + +"Ah, he took my banana!" Ben cried. He was scared and ran back to mom. + +"See, Ben, I told you. The monkey is not your friend. He is wild and hungry. You have to be careful and respectful of the animals," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I won't do that again," Ben said. He hugged mom and said sorry to the monkey. + +Anna smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. You learned your lesson. Let's go see the penguins now. They are cute and funny." + +Mom nodded and took their hands. They left the monkey house and went to see the other animals. They had a fun and safe day at the zoo. +Jenny loved her bike. It had two big wheels and a shiny bell. She liked to pedal fast and ring the bell. One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a charming boy with a red bike. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to race?" + +Jenny nodded and said, "Yes, I do. My bike is faster than yours." She got on her bike and waited for Max to say, "Go!" + +But Max did not say, "Go!" He said, "Ha ha, your bike is old and slow. Mine is new and cool. I don't want to race with you. You are silly and boring." He pedaled away and left Jenny alone. + +Jenny felt sad and angry. She wanted to catch up with Max and tell him he was mean and rude. She pedaled hard and fast. But she did not see a big rock on the path. She hit the rock and fell off her bike. She scraped her knee and elbow. She cried out loud. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She hugged her and said, "Oh, Jenny, are you okay? What happened?" Jenny told her mom what Max said and did. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Jenny. That boy was not charming at all. He was nasty and unkind. You don't need to race with him. You are smart and fun. And your bike is beautiful and strong. Let me help you up and clean your wounds. Then we can go home and have some ice cream." + +Jenny smiled a little and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my bike." She got up and took her bike. She rang the bell and said, "Bye, Max. You are a bad boy. I don't want to play with you." She pedaled away with her mom. But she still felt sad and hurt. She wished she could find a nice friend to race with. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in their room. They have hammers, saws, screws, nails, and more. + +One day, they decide to build a fort with their tools. They find some wood and cardboard in the garage. They bring them to their room. They start to hammer and saw and screw and nail. + +"Look, Sam, our fort is mighty!" Tom says. "We can hide in it and play games." + +"Yes, Tom, our fort is mighty!" Sam says. "We can pretend we are knights and dragons." + +They have fun building and playing with their fort. But they make a lot of noise. Their mom hears them from downstairs. She comes to their room. + +"Tom, Sam, stop!" she says. "You are making too much noise. And you are making a mess. You can't use tools in your room. You can hurt yourselves or break something." + +Tom and Sam look at their mom. They feel sad. They like their fort. They don't want to stop. + +"But mom, we are having fun," Tom says. "We are building a mighty fort." + +"I know, boys, but tools are not toys," mom says. "They are dangerous. You can only use them with an adult. And you have to be careful and tidy. You can't leave wood and cardboard and nails and screws everywhere. Someone can trip or get hurt." + +Tom and Sam understand. They love their mom. They don't want to make her angry or worried. They say sorry to their mom. + +"Sorry, mom," they say. "We didn't mean to make noise or mess. We just wanted to play." + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She is not angry. She loves them too. + +"It's okay, boys," she says. "I know you are creative and curious. But you have to be safe and respectful. How about we take your tools and your fort to the backyard? There you can play with them and make noise and mess. But you have to clean up afterwards. And you have to let me help you with the tools. Deal?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They are happy. They like the idea. They thank their mom. + +"Thank you, mom," they say. "You are the best. Can we go to the backyard now?" + +Mom laughs. She says yes. She helps them carry their tools and their fort to the backyard. There they have more fun. They play with their tools and their fort. They are mighty. And they are safe. And they are good. The end. +Tim and Mia are playing with their new toy. It is a laser. It makes a red light that can point at things. Tim likes to point the laser at the wall and make shapes. Mia likes to point the laser at the cat and make it chase the light. + +"Look, Mia, I can make a star!" Tim says, moving the laser on the wall. + +"That's nice, Tim, but be careful. Don't point the laser at your eyes or other people's eyes. It can hurt them," Mia says, watching the cat run after the light. + +"Why not? It's just a light," Tim says, curious. + +"It's not just a light, Tim. It's a laser. It's very strong and bright. It can damage your eyes if you look at it too long or too close. Mom and Dad told us to be careful with the laser, remember?" Mia says, urging Tim to listen to her. + +"Oh, okay. I don't want to hurt my eyes or anyone else's eyes. I'll be careful with the laser, Mia. Thanks for telling me," Tim says, nodding. + +"You're welcome, Tim. Now let's play some more. But let's not bother the cat too much. He might get angry and scratch us," Mia says, smiling. + +"Okay, Mia. Let's play some more. But let's be nice to the cat. He's our friend," Tim says, smiling back. + +They play with the laser for a while, making shapes and patterns on the wall and the floor. They are careful not to point the laser at their eyes or other people's eyes. They are also nice to the cat, giving him some treats and petting him. They have fun with their new toy, but they also remember to be safe and kind. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they could roll and kick and throw. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It led to a creek with clear water and shiny stones. Tom and Lily wanted to see the creek, so they took their ball and followed the path. + +The path was bumpy and twisty. Tom and Lily had to be careful not to trip or fall. They held their ball tight, but sometimes it bounced away from them. They always ran after it and caught it again. They were having fun, but they did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not go near the creek!" + +The creek was very pretty, but also very fast. The water made a loud noise as it rushed over the rocks. Tom and Lily stopped at the edge of the creek and looked at the water. They saw some fish and frogs and ducks. They wanted to touch the water, but they knew it was not safe. They stayed on the land and threw some stones into the water. + +Tom had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's roll the ball into the water and see what happens!" Lily thought that was a bad idea. She said, "No, Tom, we might lose the ball!" But Tom did not listen. He rolled the ball towards the water, hoping it would bounce back to him. But the ball did not bounce. It went into the water and was carried away by the current. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They had lost their ball. They tried to chase it, but it was too fast. They could not catch it. They cried and cried. They wished they had listened to Lily and not rolled the ball into the water. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never played near the creek again. +Lily liked to joke with her big brother Sam. She would hide his toys, make funny faces, and tell silly stories. Sam would laugh and joke back with her. They had fun together. + +One day, Sam got a new model car for his birthday. It was amazing. It had shiny wheels, bright colors, and a loud horn. Sam wanted to show it to Lily. He put it on the table and said, "Look, Lily, this is my new model car. It is amazing. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the model car too. It looked like a real car, but smaller. She wanted to touch it and play with it. But she also wanted to joke with Sam. She had an idea. + +She waited until Sam went to the kitchen to get a snack. Then she took the model car and hid it under the sofa. She giggled and ran back to the table. When Sam came back, he saw that his model car was gone. He looked around and said, "Hey, where is my model car? Who took it?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I don't know. Maybe a mouse took it. Or a bird. Or a dinosaur. Or a fairy. Or a monster. Or a robot. Or a pirate. Or a clown. Or a dragon. Or a unicorn. Or a mermaid. Or a superhero. Or a princess. Or a ninja. Or a cowboy. Or a astronaut. Or a chef. Or a doctor. Or a teacher. Or a firefighter. Or a policeman. Or a farmer. Or a baker. Or a painter. Or a singer. Or a dancer. Or a writer. Or a..." + +Sam interrupted her and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. You took it. You are joking with me. That's not nice, Lily. Give it back, please." + +Lily laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I was just joking. Here is your model car. It is under the sofa. I like it too. Can we play with it together?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Sure, we can play with it together. But no more jokes, okay? And thank you for saying sorry." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, no more jokes. And you're welcome. You are a good brother, Sam. And your model car is amazing." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big picture of a leopard on a wall. The leopard has many spots and yellow fur. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "What is its name?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it is Leo. Leo the leopard." + +"Leo is a good name," Tom says. "Do you think he is nice?" + +Mia nods. "Yes, I think he is nice. He has clear eyes. He looks happy." + +Tom and Mia go closer to the picture. They want to say hello to Leo. But then they hear a loud roar. It is not Leo. It is a real leopard. He is behind the wall. He is angry. + +"Run!" Tom and Mia shout. They run away from the wall. They are scared. + +The leopard jumps over the wall. He sees Tom and Mia. He chases them. He is fast. + +"Help!" Tom and Mia cry. They look for a place to hide. + +They see a big tree. They run to the tree. They climb up the tree. They hold on tight. + +The leopard reaches the tree. He cannot climb. He growls. He scratches the tree. He tries to get Tom and Mia. + +Tom and Mia hug each other. They pray. They hope the leopard will go away. + +They see a man. He is a zookeeper. He has a net and a dart. He sees the leopard. He throws the net over the leopard. He shoots the dart at the leopard. The leopard falls asleep. + +The zookeeper calls for help. He says the leopard escaped from the zoo. He says he is sorry. He says he will take the leopard back to the zoo. + +Tom and Mia are safe. They are happy. They thank the zookeeper. They go down the tree. + +They look at the picture of Leo. They smile. + +"Leo is nice," Tom says. "But the real leopard is not." + +Mia agrees. "Yes, the real leopard is not. He is mean. He is scary." + +They hold hands. They walk away from the wall. They go back to the park. They play. They have fun. They forget about the real leopard. They remember Leo. Leo the leopard. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One day, her mom was making a cake and Lily wanted to help. + +"Can I lift the eggs, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. They are fragile and can break," her mom said. + +Lily lifted one egg with both hands and put it in a bowl. She felt proud of herself. She lifted another egg and did the same. She was about to lift the third egg when she saw a shiny fork on the counter. + +"What is this, mom?" Lily asked, pointing at the fork. + +"That is a fork, Lily. We use it to eat or to mix things," her mom said. + +Lily was curious about the fork. She wanted to see how it worked. She put down the egg and picked up the fork. She looked at the prongs and the handle. She wondered what would happen if she touched the egg with the fork. + +She lifted the fork and poked the egg. The egg cracked and spilled on the counter. Lily gasped and dropped the fork. She looked at the mess and felt sorry. + +"Oh no, mom, I'm sorry! I broke the egg!" Lily said. + +Her mom turned around and saw the egg and the fork. She was not angry, but she was not happy either. She sighed and smiled. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You were just curious. But next time, please ask me before you touch something new. And don't lift the fork, lift the egg," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She said she was sorry again and helped her mom clean up. She learned a new word and a new lesson. She was still a very intelligent girl. +Lily was very excited to go to bed. She had a new night-light that her grandma gave her. It was a pink unicorn that could glow in different colors. Lily wanted to see how it looked in the dark. + +She put the unicorn on her bedside table and turned off the lamp. She climbed into her bed and pulled the covers over her. She pressed the button on the unicorn's belly and watched it glow. It changed from pink to purple to blue to green. Lily smiled and said, "Wow, you are so pretty!" + +But then she heard a knock on the door. It was her big brother, Max. He opened the door and saw the unicorn. He laughed and said, "What is that? A baby toy? You are too old for that. Unicorns are silly and girly. You should have a cool night-light, like a dinosaur or a rocket." + +Lily felt embarrassed. She didn't want Max to make fun of her. She liked her unicorn. She thought it was magical and beautiful. She said, "No, it's not a baby toy. It's a special gift from grandma. And I like unicorns. They are not silly or girly. They are strong and brave and smart. And they can glow in the dark. Can your dinosaur or rocket do that?" + +Max stopped laughing. He looked at the unicorn again. He saw how it changed colors and how it made Lily happy. He felt a little sorry for being mean. He said, "Well, I guess it is kind of cool. And I'm sorry for teasing you. You can like whatever you want. And grandma is very nice. Maybe she can get me a night-light too. But not a unicorn. Maybe a dragon or a star." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's okay. And maybe we can share our night-lights sometimes. And we can pretend that they are friends. And they can go on adventures together. And they can glow in the dark." + +Max nodded and said, "That sounds fun. Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams." + +He closed the door and left. Lily hugged her unicorn and said, "Good night, unicorn. Thank you for glowing. You are my favorite night-light." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom at the market. They had a big basket of red apples that they wanted to sell to people. Mom told them to be careful with the apples and not to drop them or eat them. + +One day, a man came to their stall and asked for two apples. Ben and Lily were happy and gave him two apples from the basket. The man gave them some money and said thank you. Ben and Lily put the money in a jar and smiled. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog walking by. She loved dogs and wanted to pet it. She was careless and left the basket on the ground. She ran after the dog and called it. The dog did not hear her and kept walking. + +Ben saw what Lily did and was angry. He shouted at her to come back and watch the apples. But it was too late. A boy saw the basket and took an apple. He ran away with it and did not pay. Ben tried to catch him but he was too fast. + +When Lily came back, she saw that an apple was missing. She was sorry and said sorry to Ben. Ben was still angry but he forgave her. He told her to be more careful next time and not to leave the apples alone. Lily nodded and hugged him. They decided to sell the rest of the apples together and not to chase dogs or boys. Mom was proud of them and gave them a hug too. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big sack that they filled with things they found. They liked to look for bugs, rocks, leaves and flowers. + +One day, they saw a new plant in the garden. It had big green leaves and red berries. Tom and Lily thought the berries looked delicious. They picked some and put them in their sack. + +They ran to their mom and showed her their sack. "Look, mom, we found a yummy plant!" they said. + +Mom looked at the sack and saw the berries. She knew they were not yummy. They were bad. They could make Tom and Lily sick. She said, "No, no, no, these are not yummy. These are poison. You must not eat them. You must throw them away." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not know the plant was poison. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said, "I have something yummy for you. Come inside and I will give you some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They threw away the poison berries and followed mom inside. They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They said, "Thank you, mom, these are delicious." Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my loves. But remember, always ask me before you eat something from the garden." Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They were happy and full. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a race track with books and boxes. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars on the track. + +Tom has a red car. He thinks his car is the fastest. He pushes his car very hard. He says, "My car can speed like a rocket!" Mia has a blue car. She thinks her car is the smartest. She pushes her car gently. She says, "My car can turn and avoid crashes!" + +Tom's car is very fast, but it is also very wild. It bumps into books and boxes. It flies off the track. It lands on the floor. Tom says, "Oh no! My car is broken!" Mia's car is not very fast, but it is very smart. It follows the track. It passes the books and boxes. It reaches the finish line. Mia says, "Yay! My car is the winner!" + +Tom is sad. He looks at his broken car. He says, "I wish I had a smart car like yours." Mia is kind. She looks at Tom. She says, "Don't be sad. We can share my car. We can fix your car together. We can make a new race track with more fun things." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. You have a smart car and a smart image." Mia smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You have a fast car and a fast image." They hug and play with the blue car. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big loop that they can make their cars go through. They like to see how fast and high their cars can fly. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car go upside down!" Ben says, as he pushes his red car through the loop. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily says, as she watches his car zoom out of the loop and land on the grass. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Ben says, as he gives her his car. "But be careful, it's very fast!" + +Lily takes the car and pushes it hard through the loop. But she pushes it too hard, and the car flies out of the loop and hits a big rock. The car breaks into many pieces and scatters all over the garden. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke my car!" Ben says, as he runs to the rock and sees the pieces of his car. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily says, as she follows him and sees the mess. "Can we fix it?" + +Ben looks at the pieces and shakes his head. "No, Lily, we can't. It's too broken. Now I don't have a car to play with." + +Lily feels bad and starts to cry. She doesn't want Ben to be sad. She looks around and sees a funny thing. It's a big yellow banana peel that someone left on the ground. She has an idea. + +"Ben, look, I found something for you!" Lily says, as she picks up the banana peel and gives it to Ben. + +"What is it, Lily?" Ben says, as he takes the banana peel and looks at it. + +"It's a new car, Ben! A banana car!" Lily says, as she smiles. "You can make it go through the loop, too. It's very fun!" + +Ben looks at the banana peel and laughs. He thinks it's a funny car. He decides to try it. + +"Okay, Lily, let's see how the banana car goes!" Ben says, as he pushes the banana peel through the loop. + +The banana peel goes through the loop and flies in the air. It lands on Ben's head and makes him look like he has yellow hair. + +Ben and Lily laugh and laugh. They think it's very funny. They forget about the broken car and play with the banana car instead. They have fun in the garden. +Lily was playing with her dolls in the living room. She liked to pretend they were having a tea party. She poured water from a small pitcher into tiny cups and gave them to her dolls. She made them talk in funny voices. + +"Would you like some more tea, Miss Daisy?" she asked one of her dolls. + +"Yes, please, Lily. You are such a good hostess," the doll answered. + +Lily smiled and poured more water. She did not notice that the pitcher was almost empty. + +"Would you like some more tea, Mr. Bear?" she asked another doll. + +But before the doll could answer, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like water splashing everywhere. + +Lily ran to the kitchen and saw that her brother Max had turned on the faucet and was playing with the water. He had made a big mess on the floor and the counter. + +"Max, what are you doing?" Lily shouted. "You are wasting water and making a mess!" + +Max looked at her and grinned. He liked to play with the faucet. He thought it was fun to see the water come out in different ways. He did not care about the mess. + +"I'm playing, Lily. Go away," he said. + +Lily was very angry and impatient. She wanted to play with her dolls and have a nice tea party. She did not want to deal with Max and his water games. + +She tried to turn off the faucet, but Max pushed her away. + +"Stop it, Max. You have to turn off the faucet. Mom will be mad if she sees this," Lily said. + +"No, I don't. You can't tell me what to do. You are not the boss of me," Max said. + +They started to fight over the faucet.

Then she tiptoed to the shelf where the statues were. She saw a blue one that looked like a bird. She reached for it, but it was too high. She had an idea. She moved a chair next to the shelf.

"Can you help me get out?" + +"Of course, I can help you," the big fish said. "But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it?" the little crab asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will not try to gain any more huge shells. They are not good for you. You are a little crab, and you need a little shell that fits you well." + +"OK, I promise," the little crab said. "Please help me get out." + +The big fish used his tail to push the huge shell. The huge shell rolled over and the little crab came out. He was free and happy. + +"Thank you, big fish," he said. "You are very kind and smart." + +"You are welcome, little crab," the big fish said.

I didn't mean to break it. I didn't mean to hurt myself. Please don't be mad at me. Please help me." + +His mom sighed and said, "Oh, Timmy. You are a silly boy. You should have listened to me. You should have been careful. You should have left the crystal ball alone. Now you have to suffer the consequences. Come here, let me see your hand. I'll clean it and bandage it. It will sting a little, but it will heal. And you will learn your lesson." + +She took Timmy to the bathroom and did what she said. Timmy whimpered and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I love you too, Timmy. But you have to be more responsible. You have to respect my things. You have to think before you act. You have to be a good boy.

I don't have a crystal ball anymore. You broke it. It's gone. And I'm very sad about that. It was a special gift from your grandma. It was very precious to me. And now I don't have it anymore. And that makes me miserable." + +Timmy looked at his mom and saw tears in her eyes. He felt sorry for her. He said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. I didn't mean to make you miserable. I wish I could make it better. I wish I could give you a new crystal ball." + +His mom shook her head and said, "You can't, Timmy. You can't undo what you did. You can't replace what you lost. You can only say sorry and mean it. And you can only try to be more careful and more respectful in the future. And you can only hope that I will forgive you and love you anyway. And I will, Timmy. I will. Because you are my son. And I love you more than anything. Even more than a crystal ball." + +She kissed him and said, "Now, let's go and clean up the mess. And then we'll have some cookies and milk. And then we'll read a story. And then we'll go to bed. And tomorrow, we'll start a new day. And we'll try to be happy.

She knows what Anna did. She is not happy. + +She says to Anna, "Anna, why did you take the toys? That is not nice. You are selfish. You have to share with your brother. He is sad and angry. You have to say sorry to him and give him some toys." + +Anna feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She says sorry to Ben. She gives him some toys. They hug and make up. They play with the toys together. They are happy. Their mom is happy too. She says, "That is better. Sharing is caring. You are good twins." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, it rains a lot. Lily and Tom put on their boots and coats. They go to the park. + +In the park, they see many puddles. Puddles are water on the ground. Lily and Tom jump in the puddles. They splash and laugh. They have fun. + +But then, they see a big puddle. It is brown and dirty. It has trash and mud in it. It is an ugly puddle. Lily and Tom do not like the ugly puddle. + +"Let's go to another puddle," Lily says. "This one is yucky." + +But Tom is curious. He wants to see what is in the ugly puddle. He walks to the ugly puddle. He stands on the edge. He looks down. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily says. "You will get wet and dirty." + +But Tom does not listen. He leans over the ugly puddle. He tries to touch the water. But he slips and falls. He lands in the ugly puddle. He is wet and dirty. He cries. + +Lily runs to Tom. She helps him get up. She hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I will help you clean up. Let's go home." + +Tom nods. He is sorry. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I will not go to the ugly puddle again." + +Lily and Tom hold hands. They walk home. They are still friends. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big orange case in the park. They wonder what is inside. + +"Can we open it?" Sara questions Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not ours. Maybe it is someone's else's," Ben says. + +"But it looks fun. Maybe it has more toys. Or candy. Or something else nice," Sara says. + +She pulls the case to her and tries to open it. Ben helps her. They push and pull and twist and turn. But the case does not open. + +"Maybe we need a key. Or a code. Or something else," Ben says. + +He looks around and sees a man. The man is wearing a black coat and a black hat. He has a big beard and a big nose. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my case?" the man shouts. + +He runs to them and grabs the case. He pushes Sara and Ben away. They fall to the ground and hurt themselves. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Sara cries. + +"Sorry! We didn't know!" Ben says. + +The man does not listen. He opens the case and takes out a big gun. He points it at Sara and Ben. + +"Too bad for you. You should have left my case alone. Now you will pay," the man says. + +He pulls the trigger and shoots Sara and Ben. They scream and bleed and die. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play in the park with their ball and their dog. One day, they see a big house with a fence and a gate. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tom says. He is brave and curious. + +"No, we can't," Lily says. She is careful and kind. "That is someone else's home. We have to ask first." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the gate and pushes it open. The dog follows him. Lily worries. She runs after them. + +Inside the fence, there is a garden with flowers and trees. There is also a pool with water and a slide. Tom and the dog are happy. They jump in the pool and splash. Lily watches. She thinks the pool is expensive and nice. + +But then, she hears a voice. It is angry and loud. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? Get out of my pool!" It is the owner of the home. He is a man with a hat and a beard. He comes out of the door and sees Tom and the dog. + +Lily is scared. She says, "I'm sorry, sir. We did not mean to bother you. We were just playing." + +The man is not happy. He says, "Playing? You are trespassing! This is my home, not yours. You have to leave now. And take your wet dog with you." + +Tom and the dog get out of the pool. They are wet and cold. They feel bad. They say, "We're sorry, too. We did not know. We won't come back." + +The man says, "You better not. And don't touch anything else. This is all expensive and mine." + +Lily, Tom and the dog run back to the gate. They are sad and sorry. They wish they had listened to Lily. They go back to the park and find their ball. They play with it and hug each other. They are glad they have their own home and each other. They are not expensive, but they are precious. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and make noises. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there is a machine with a red button and a microphone. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it can record our noises," Sam says. + +They take the machine out of the box and plug it in. They press the red button and start to make noises with their mouths and toys. They pretend they are in a city with cars and planes and people. + +"Beep beep! Honk honk! Vroom vroom!" Tom says. + +"Whoosh whoosh! Zoom zoom! Hello hello!" Sam says. + +They have fun for a while, but then they want to hear their noises. They press the red button again and wait. But nothing happens. The machine is silent. + +"Why is it not working?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is broken," Sam says. + +They are frustrated. They want to hear their noises. They try to press the button again and again, but nothing changes. They shake the machine and hit it, but it does not help. + +"This is a bad machine. It does not record our noises. It is no fun," Tom says. + +"Let's throw it away and find something else to play with," Sam says. + +They put the machine back in the box and leave it in the garage. They go to the backyard and play with a ball and a dog. They forget about the machine and the city. They are happy again. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in their big building. There are many floors and many doors. Sometimes they see people come and go. They are nosy. They want to know what is behind the doors. + +One day, they see a new button near the stairs. It is red and shiny. They press it. It makes a ding sound. Then a big box comes. It has a door too. It is an elevator. They have never seen it before. + +"Let's go inside!" Lily says. She pulls Max by the hand. They enter the elevator. The door closes. There are more buttons inside. They have numbers and arrows. Lily presses one. The elevator moves. It goes up and up. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Max says. He presses another button. The elevator stops. The door opens. They see a new floor. It has different doors. They are curious. They want to peek. + +They get out of the elevator. They walk to a door. It has a sign. It says "Do not disturb". They do not know what it means. They knock on the door. No one answers. They try to open it. It is locked. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. It comes from the elevator. It is a man. He is angry. He calls them. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not your floor! Get back in the elevator, now!" + +Lily and Max are scared. They run to the elevator. They press the button. The door closes. The elevator goes down and down. + +They get out of the elevator. They see their mom. She is waiting for them. She is worried. She hugs them. + +"Where have you been? I was looking for you!" she says. + +"We were playing with the elevator," Lily says. + +"We saw a new floor," Max says. + +Their mom is not happy. She is mad. She scolds them. + +"That was very naughty of you! You should not play with the elevator! You could get hurt or lost! And you should not bother the other people in the building! They do not like nosy kids!" + +Lily and Max are sorry. They say sorry to their mom. They say sorry to the man. They promise not to play with the elevator again. They learn their lesson. They go home. They play with their toys. They are good kids. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big axe that their dad gave them to chop wood. They also had a soft bear that they took with them everywhere. The bear was their best friend. + +One day, they saw a big tree that had many apples on it. They wanted to pick some apples for their mom. They used the axe to cut the tree, but it was very hard. They had to hit the tree many times. The bear watched them from the ground. + +The tree started to shake and make a loud noise. It was going to fall. Tom and Sam ran away, but they forgot the bear. The bear was scared and tried to follow them, but it was too late. The tree fell on the bear and tore it apart. The bear was gone. + +Tom and Sam heard the bear cry and turned around. They saw the tree and the bear. They were very sad and sorry. They wished they had not cut the tree. They wished they had not left the bear. They wished they had a new bear. But they could not have a new bear. The bear was their only friend. The end. +Lily and Will are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a creative thing to make a house with the box. + +They use scissors and tape to cut windows and a door. They draw flowers and stars on the walls. They put a blanket inside for a floor. They are happy with their house. + +They go inside and pretend to be a family. Lily is the mom and Will is the dad. They have a tea party with their stuffed animals. They use cups and plates from the kitchen. They have cookies and juice for their food. + +"Yum, these cookies are good," Lily says. She chews a bite. + +"Me too," Will says. He chews a bite too. But he chews too fast and too big. He starts to cough. + +"Are you okay, Will?" Lily asks. She is worried. + +Will nods. He drinks some juice. He stops coughing. He smiles. + +"I'm okay, Lily. I just chewed too much. Next time, I will chew slower and smaller." + +Lily hugs him. She is glad he is okay. + +They finish their tea party. They clean up their cups and plates. They say goodbye to their stuffed animals. They leave their house. + +They are proud of their creative house. They can't wait to play with it again. They are good friends. +Lily was very happy. She had an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend from school. He was very organized. He always had his toys in the right place. + +Lily wanted to give Ben a nice present. She asked her mom to help her. They went to the store and looked at many things. Lily saw a big red ball. She thought Ben would like it. She asked her mom to buy it for him. + +The next day, Lily put on her best dress and went to the party with her mom. She saw Ben at the door. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He smiled when he saw Lily. + +"Hi, Lily! Thank you for coming to my party!" he said. + +"Hi, Ben! Happy birthday! I have a present for you!" Lily said. She gave him the big red ball. + +"Wow! This is awesome! Thank you, Lily! Do you want to play with me?" Ben said. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She and Ben ran to the backyard. There were many games and balloons and cake. Lily and Ben had a lot of fun. They played catch with the ball, they ate cake, they sang songs. They were very happy. + +Lily and Ben stood together and hugged. They were very good friends. They said thank you to each other and to their moms. They said goodbye and promised to see each other soon. Lily and Ben had a wonderful party. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They looked for something to make his arms. + +"Look, Lily, I found a rod!" Tom said. He held up a long stick. "We can use this for his arm." + +"Good, Tom!" Lily said. She took the rod and stuck it in the snowman's side. "Now he has one arm. We need another one." + +They looked around for another rod, but they could not find one. They saw a hose by the house. It was icy and hard. + +"Maybe we can use this hose," Tom said. He pulled on the hose, but it did not move. "It is stuck. Help me, Lily." + +Lily helped Tom pull on the hose. They pulled and pulled, but it did not come out. They did not see that the other end of the hose was connected to a faucet. + +Suddenly, the faucet turned on. Water came out of the hose. It sprayed Tom and Lily and the snowman. + +"Ah, it is cold!" Tom shouted. He let go of the hose and ran away. + +"Stop, stop!" Lily cried. She tried to turn off the faucet, but she could not reach it. She ran after Tom. + +The water kept spraying. It washed away the snowman's hat and scarf and nose and eyes. It washed away the rod and the hose. It made a big puddle of water and ice. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They lost their snowman and their rod and their hose. They were wet and cold. + +"Let's go inside, Tom," Lily said. "We can get warm and dry. Maybe we can make another snowman later." + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. He hugged his sister. "I'm sorry we broke the hose." + +"It's OK, Tom," Lily said. "It was an accident. Maybe we can fix it later." + +They went inside the house. They took off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They drank hot cocoa and ate cookies. They felt better. + +They still liked playing in the snow, but they learned to be careful with the hose. +Lily and Ben were on the same team for the ball game. They wanted to win, but they were fearful of the other team. The other team had big kids who could throw the ball very hard and fast. Lily and Ben had to catch the ball and throw it back, but they were scared of getting hurt. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asked, holding the ball in his hand. + +"No, I'm not," Lily said, shaking her head. "They are too big and strong. They will throw the ball at us and make us cry." + +"Don't be afraid, Lily," Ben said. "We can do it. We are a team. We have to help each other and try our best. Maybe we can surprise them and win the game." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was brave. She wanted to be brave too. She nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. I will try. You throw the ball first and I will catch it." + +Ben smiled and threw the ball to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. They did this a few times, and they felt more confident. They saw that the other team was not paying attention to them. They were busy talking and laughing. + +"Hey, Lily, I have an idea," Ben whispered. "Let's throw the ball to the other team's leader. He is the biggest and meanest. Maybe we can make him drop the ball and lose a point." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do it. But we have to be quick and careful. He might get angry and throw the ball at us." + +Ben nodded and waited for the right moment. He saw that the leader was looking away. He threw the ball as hard as he could. The ball flew in the air and hit the leader on the head. He dropped the ball and shouted, "Ow!" + +Lily and Ben cheered. They had scored a point. The other team was shocked and confused. They looked at Lily and Ben and saw that they were not fearful anymore. They were smiling and proud. They had surprised them and won the game. +Sara likes to write. She writes her name, and the names of her friends, and the things she sees. She writes with crayons, and pencils, and markers. She writes on paper, and on the wall, and on her hand. + +One day, Sara sees a parade. She sees large trucks, and cars, and bikes. She sees people with hats, and flags, and drums. She sees animals with fur, and feathers, and scales. She likes the parade. She wants to write about it. + +She runs to her room, and grabs her crayons, and a big sheet of paper. She writes the word "parade" in big letters. She draws the trucks, and the cars, and the bikes. She draws the people, and the hats, and the flags. She draws the animals, and the fur, and the feathers. She uses many colors. She is happy. + +She shows her paper to her mom, and her dad, and her brother. They smile, and hug, and praise her. They say she is a good writer. They say they are proud of her. They say they love her. Sara is happy. She loves them too. She loves to write. +Anna likes to teach her teddy bear how to drink from a cup. She fills a small cup with water and puts it on the table. Then she holds her teddy bear and says, "Look, this is a cup. You can drink water from it. Watch me." She takes a sip of water and makes a slurping sound. Then she gives the cup to her teddy bear and says, "Now you try. Be careful, don't spill it." + +But the teddy bear does not drink. He just holds the cup and stares at Anna. Anna thinks he is shy. She says, "Don't be scared. It's easy. Just open your mouth and tilt the cup. Like this." She shows him again how to drink. Then she says, "Come on, you can do it. I will help you." She puts her hand on the cup and tries to move it to the teddy bear's mouth. + +But the teddy bear does not want to drink. He pushes the cup away and makes a growling sound. He does not like water. He likes honey. He wants honey in his cup, not water. He is upset. He throws the cup on the floor and water splashes everywhere. Anna is upset too. She says, "Hey, that's not nice. You made a mess. Why did you do that?" She picks up the cup and wipes the water with a cloth. She is sad. She says, "I just wanted to teach you how to drink from a cup. I thought you would like it." + +The teddy bear feels sorry. He did not mean to make Anna sad. He likes Anna. She is his best friend. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry. I don't like water. I like honey. Can we have honey in the cup?" Anna smiles. She says, "Okay, we can have honey. But only a little bit. And you have to be careful, don't spill it. Honey is sticky." She goes to the kitchen and gets some honey. She puts a little bit of honey in the cup and stirs it with a spoon. Then she gives the cup to the teddy bear and says, "Here you go. Try it. It's sweet and yummy." + +The teddy bear drinks the honey from the cup. He likes it. He makes a happy sound. He says, "Thank you. This is good. I like honey. You are a good teacher." Anna drinks some honey too. She says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. You are a good learner." They drink the honey and smile at each other. They are not upset anymore. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a small bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up his shovel. + +"Wow, Tom, it's so long and wiggly!" Lily said, leaning closer to see. + +They put the worm in the bucket and kept digging. They found more worms, some ants, and a shiny stone. + +Suddenly, they noticed a smell. It was like something burning. They looked around and saw a flame in the trash can. + +"Fire! Fire!" Tom shouted, dropping his shovel. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried, running to the house. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came outside. They saw the flame and grabbed a hose. They sprayed water on the trash can until the flame was gone. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked, hugging Tom and Lily. + +"Yes, Mom, we're okay," Tom said. + +"What happened?" Dad asked. + +"We don't know, Dad. We were playing and we noticed the flame," Lily said. + +"Someone must have thrown something hot in the trash can. It was very dangerous. You did the right thing to call for help," Dad said. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being patient and saving us," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Lily. We love you very much. But next time, please stay away from the trash can. It's not a safe place to play," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We're sorry," Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and Dad and went back to their bucket. They decided to play with their bugs and stone instead. They were happy and safe. +One day, a brown boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. He also liked to run and jump and laugh with his friends. + +"Tom, it's time to go home soon," his mom said. "You can play for five more minutes, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Tom said. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He saw his friend Lily waiting at the top. Lily had yellow hair and a pink dress. + +"Hi, Tom," Lily said. "Do you want to slide with me?" + +"Yes, please," Tom said. He sat next to Lily and they held hands. They were ready to slide down together. + +But then, Tom saw something on the ground. It was a shiny red ball. He liked shiny things. He wanted to play with the ball. + +"Wait, Lily," Tom said. He paused and let go of Lily's hand. "I want to get the ball." + +Lily was surprised. She did not want to slide alone. She wanted to slide with Tom. + +"Tom, don't go," Lily said. "The ball is not yours. Someone else left it here. Come back and slide with me." + +But Tom did not listen. He jumped off the slide and ran to the ball. He picked it up and threw it in the air. He caught it and threw it again. He smiled and giggled. + +Lily was sad. She slid down by herself. She did not smile or giggle. She felt lonely and angry. + +"Tom, you are not nice," Lily said. "You left me alone. You are not my friend anymore." + +Tom heard Lily's voice. He looked at her. He saw her face. She was crying. He felt sorry. He did not want to make Lily cry. He did not want to lose his friend. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," Tom said. He dropped the ball and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "You are my friend. I like you. I want to slide with you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw his face. He was sorry. He wanted to be her friend. She felt happy. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you.

They had fun. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home now," Tom's mom said. She came to the slide and smiled at them. "Did you have a good time?" + +"Yes, mom," Tom said. "We had a good time. We are friends." + +"Yes, mom," Lily said. "We are friends. We like to slide." + +They waved goodbye to each other and went home with their moms. They were happy. They learned to share and to say sorry. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but they have one toy they both love. It is a big, soft bear. They call it Brownie. + +One day, their mom and dad say they have to go to a hotel. They have to pack their bags and bring some things. Anna and Ben are excited. They want to see the hotel. They want to swim in the pool. They want to eat ice cream. + +But they have a problem. They both want to bring Brownie. Anna says, "Brownie is mine. I found him first. I want to bring him." Ben says, "No, Brownie is mine. I play with him more. I want to bring him." They start to pull and tug on Brownie. They make him rough. They make him sad. + +Their mom and dad hear them. They come to their room. They see Anna and Ben fighting over Brownie. They see Brownie's fur coming off. They see Brownie's eyes falling out. They are not happy. They say, "Stop! What are you doing? You are hurting Brownie. You are hurting each other. You are being selfish. You have to share. Sharing is caring. If you can't share, you can't bring Brownie. You have to leave him here." + +Anna and Ben stop. They look at Brownie. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We are sorry, Brownie. We don't want to hurt you. We love you. We will share you. We will take turns. We will be nice. Can we please bring Brownie?" + +Their mom and dad smile. They say, "That's better. We are glad you learned your lesson. You can bring Brownie. But you have to be gentle. You have to be kind. You have to be good. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They hug Brownie. They hug each other. They hug their mom and dad. They say, "Yes, we can. Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, Brownie. We are ready to go to the hotel. We will have fun. We will share. We will be happy." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a delicate bowl that their grandma gave them. The bowl was shiny and had flowers on it. Lily and Ben liked to pretend it was a magic bowl that could make wishes come true. + +One night, Lily and Ben were getting ready for sleep. They brushed their teeth, put on their pajamas, and hugged their mom and dad. Then they went to their room, where they kept the delicate bowl on a shelf. + +"Can I hold the bowl for a bit?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, it's my turn. You held it yesterday," Ben said. + +"But I want to make a wish. Please, Ben, let me have it," Lily said. + +"No, you always want the bowl. It's not fair," Ben said. + +They started to argue and tug on the bowl. They did not see that the shelf was wobbly and the bowl was slipping. Suddenly, the bowl fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Lily and Ben gasped and cried. + +They heard their mom and dad come running to their room. They saw the broken bowl and the sad twins. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. + +"We were fighting over the bowl and it fell," Lily said. + +"We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, dad. We're sorry, grandma," Ben said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "It's okay, sweeties. We know you loved the bowl, but it was just a thing. The most important thing is that you love each other and share. Fighting is not nice. Can you say sorry to each other?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said sorry to each other. They hugged and said they were still best friends. + +Their mom and dad smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let's clean up this mess and then you can go to sleep. Maybe you can dream of a new bowl that grandma can give you." + +Lily and Ben helped their mom and dad pick up the pieces of the bowl. They threw them in the trash and said goodbye to the bowl. Then they climbed into their beds and snuggled with their teddy bears. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of a new bowl that was even more shiny and had more flowers on it. They dreamed of making wishes with the bowl and sharing them with each other. They dreamed of being happy and kind. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and trains. One day, they go with their dad to the factory. The factory makes big cars and trucks. + +Dad shows them how the workers measure the parts of the cars. They use long sticks and tapes. They have to be very careful. If the parts are too big or too small, the cars will not work well. + +"Can we measure something too?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, you can measure this wheel," Dad says. He gives them a small wheel and a tape. Lily and Ben take turns to measure the wheel. They compare their numbers. + +"Mine is 15," Lily says. + +"Mine is 16," Ben says. + +"That's close enough," Dad says. "You are good at measuring." + +Lily and Ben smile. They are proud of themselves. + +They see a shiny red car in the corner of the factory. It has a big sign that says "expensive". + +"What does expensive mean?" Ben asks. + +"It means it costs a lot of money," Dad says. "More money than we have." + +"Wow, it is so pretty," Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, we can't," Dad says. "It is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We have to be respectful." + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They look at the car from a distance. They wonder who will buy it and where it will go. They think it must be fun to drive it. But they are happy with their own cars and trains. They have more fun playing with them. +Tom loves to play with his toy train. He has a big engine and many cars. He likes to put the engine in front and make it go fast. He makes noises like "choo-choo" and "vroom-vroom". + +One day, he sees a real train at the station. He is very excited. He wants to see the engine up close. He runs to the gate and tries to open it. But it is locked. He sees a man in a blue hat. He is the train driver. + +"Hello, little boy," the train driver says. "Do you like trains?" + +"Yes, I do," Tom says. "Can I see your engine?" + +"Sure, you can," the train driver says. "But you have to be careful. The engine is very big and hot. It is not like your toy train. It can hurt you if you touch it." + +The train driver takes Tom by the hand and leads him to the engine. He shows him the wheels, the pipes, the whistle and the coal. Tom is amazed. He thinks the engine is very cool. + +"Can I put some coal in the fire?" Tom asks. + +"No, you can't," the train driver says. "That is my job. You can watch me do it. But you have to stay back. The fire is very hot and dangerous." + +The train driver puts some coal in the fire with a shovel. He makes the engine go faster. He blows the whistle. Tom covers his ears. He laughs. + +"Thank you for showing me your engine," Tom says. + +"You're welcome," the train driver says. "But now you have to go back to your mom. The train is leaving soon." + +Tom waves goodbye to the train driver. He runs back to his mom. He tells her what he saw and learned. He hugs his toy train. He thinks it is harmless and fun. He still loves to play with it. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine on the wall. It had many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Let's climb the vine!" Tom said. He liked to go high and see far. + +"No, Tom, that's not safe!" Lily said. She was scared of falling and hurting herself. + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the vine and pulled himself up. He felt strong and brave. + +Lily watched him and felt sad. She wanted to play with him, but she did not want to climb the vine. She decided to call him. + +"Tom, Tom, come down!" she shouted. "The vine might break and you might fall!" + +Tom heard her, but he did not care. He wanted to reach the top of the wall. He climbed higher and higher. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud snap. The vine broke under his weight. He screamed and fell to the ground. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. He was crying and bleeding. He had a big cut on his arm. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry!" he sobbed. "I was silly and I did not listen to you. You were right, the vine was not safe." + +Lily kissed his cheek and said, "It's okay, Tom, it's okay. I'm glad you are not hurt more. Let's go inside and get a band-aid. And next time, let's play something else, okay?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was happy that Lily was his friend. He decided to listen to her more. They held hands and walked inside. The vine was left on the ground, noisy with bees and birds. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, slide, swing and laugh. They are happy. + +One day, they see a purple ant on the grass. They are curious. They go closer to look at it. + +"Wow, a purple ant!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it." + +"Be careful, Lily," Ben says. "It might bite you. Ants are small, but they are strong." + +Lily does not listen. She reaches out her hand to the ant. The ant feels Lily's finger. It is scared. It bites Lily's finger. Lily screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Ben runs to Lily. He hugs her. He tries to make her feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "Are you okay?" + +Lily nods. She wipes her tears. She looks at the ant. The ant runs away. + +"Bye, purple ant," Lily says. "You are pretty, but you are mean. I will not touch you again." + +Lily and Ben go back to play. They are careful. They do not bother the ants. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a red bow on its neck. Anna and Ben want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "You are so pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags its tail and licks Anna's hand. Anna smiles and pets the dog's head. Ben does the same. + +"Can we give you a treat?" Ben asks. "We have some salt. Dogs like salt, right?" + +The dog barks and nods. Ben takes out a small bag of salt from his pocket. He opens it and pours some salt on his palm. He holds it out to the dog. + +"Here you go, dog. Eat some salt. It is yummy." + +The dog sniffs the salt and licks it. But the salt is too much. The dog makes a face and spits out the salt. The dog coughs and whines. The salt hurts the dog's mouth. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the dog says. "What did you do? Why did you give me salt? Salt is bad for dogs. Salt makes dogs sick. You are not nice. You are mean." + +The dog runs away from Ben and Anna. It looks angry and sad. Ben and Anna feel bad. They did not know salt was bad for dogs. They wanted to be nice. They wanted to make the dog happy. + +"I'm sorry, dog!" Ben says. "We did not know. We are sorry. Please come back. Please be our friend." + +But the dog does not come back. It goes to its owner. The owner is a lady. She sees the dog's bow and the salt on the ground. She sees Ben and Anna. + +"What happened here?" the lady asks. "Did you give my dog salt? Do you know how dangerous that is? Salt can make dogs very sick. You could have hurt my dog. You should never give salt to dogs. You should be more careful and kind." + +Ben and Anna look down. They feel ashamed. They did not mean to hurt the dog. They did not know the rules. They say sorry to the lady and the dog. + +"We are sorry, lady. We are sorry, dog. We did not know. We wanted to be nice. We wanted to be friends. We like your dog. We like its bow. We will never give salt to dogs again. We will learn the rules. We will be more careful and kind." + +The lady and the dog look at Ben and Anna. They see they are sorry. They see they are young. They see they want to learn. They forgive them. + +"It's okay, kids. I accept your sorry. I know you did not mean to hurt my dog. You made a mistake. But you can learn from it. You can be better. You can be good friends to my dog and other dogs. Just remember, salt is not for dogs. Dogs need water and food and love. And a nice bow." + +The lady smiles and pets her dog. The dog wags its tail and licks her hand. Then the dog goes to Ben and Anna. It licks their hands too. It forgives them. It wants to be their friend. + +Ben and Anna smile and pet the dog. They thank the lady and the dog. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be more careful and kind. They learned to love dogs. And they learned to love the dog's bow. +Lily and Tom were playing on the sand. They saw a big fish jump out of the water. It was shiny and blue. + +"Wow, look at that fish!" Tom said. "I want to eat it!" + +"No, Tom, you can't eat the fish!" Lily said. "The fish lives in the ocean. The ocean is its home. You have to be kind to the fish." + +"But I'm hungry!" Tom said. "And the fish looks yummy!" + +Tom ran to the water. He tried to catch the fish with his hands. But the fish was too fast and too smart. It swam away from Tom. Tom got wet and cold. He was confused. Why did the fish not want to be his food? + +Lily came to Tom. She gave him a hug. She had a sandwich in her hand. + +"Here, Tom, you can eat this sandwich," she said. "It is made of bread and cheese and ham. It is good for you. And it does not live in the ocean. It is not a fish." + +Tom took the sandwich. He bit into it. It was tasty and warm. He felt better. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend. I'm sorry I wanted to eat the fish. I learned my lesson. The fish is not my food. The fish is a living thing. I have to respect the fish and the ocean." + +Lily smiled. She was happy that Tom understood. They ate their sandwiches together. They watched the fish swim in the water. They were kind to the fish and the ocean. And the fish and the ocean were kind to them. +Lily and Max were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they found a big cookie in the kitchen. It looked yummy and sweet. + +"Let's share the cookie," Lily said. She broke the cookie in half and gave one piece to Max. + +But Max was not happy. He looked at the cookie and said, "This is not fair. Your piece is bigger than mine. I want your piece." + +Lily was surprised. She thought they were both the same. She said, "No, Max. This is my piece. You have your piece. They are both good." + +Max and Lily disagreed. They started to argue and shout. They did not want to share the cookie. They wanted the whole cookie for themselves. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the cookie and the angry faces. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a cookie?" + +Lily and Max told Mom their stories. They both said they deserved the bigger piece. They both said the other one was wrong. + +Mom looked at them and said, "You are both being silly and greedy. A cookie is just a cookie. It does not matter who has the bigger piece. What matters is that you are friends and you are honest. Honesty is when you tell the truth and do not lie. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the cookie and enjoy it together. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now you can have some milk too. But be careful, do not eat too much. You do not want to hurt your stomach. Your stomach is where the food goes when you swallow. It helps you digest and gives you energy. But if you eat too much, your stomach can feel bad and make you sick." + +Lily and Max thanked Mom and drank some milk. They ate the cookie slowly and happily. They learned their lesson. They agreed to be honest and share with each other. They were good friends. +Sam liked to play with his ball. He liked to bounce it and catch it and throw it. He liked to make his mother smile when he played with his ball. + +One day, Sam and his mother went to the park. There were many people and cars and dogs and birds in the park. Sam wanted to show his mother how high he could throw his ball. He threw it very high, higher than the trees. + +But Sam did not catch his ball. The ball went over the fence and into the street. Sam ran after his ball. He did not look at the cars. He did not hear his mother call his name. + +A big car was coming fast. The car did not see Sam. The car hit Sam and his ball. Sam and his ball dropped to the ground. Sam did not get up. His mother ran to him and cried. + +Sam was foolish. He did not listen to his mother. He did not stay away from the street. He lost his ball and his life. His mother lost her smile. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a purple ball and a sandwich for lunch. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and loud. It runs after them and wants to play. But Anna and Ben are scared of the dog. They do not want to play with the dog. + +"Let's hide!" Anna says to Ben. "Where can we hide?" + +They look around and see a big tree. They run to the tree and hide behind it. They hope the dog will not find them. + +But the dog is smart. It smells the sandwich in Ben's backpack. It follows the smell and finds the tree. It barks and wags its tail. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben says. "This is our sandwich!" + +But the dog does not listen. It jumps and tries to get the sandwich. Anna and Ben hold the backpack tight. They do not want to lose their sandwich. + +"Help!" Anna and Ben shout. "There is a big dog here!" + +A lady hears them and comes to the park. She sees the dog and the children. She is not scared of the dog. She knows the dog. The dog is her dog. + +"Rex, stop!" the lady says. "That is not your sandwich! Come here, boy!" + +The dog hears the lady and stops. It looks at the lady and wags its tail. It is happy to see the lady. It runs to the lady and licks her face. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the lady says. "Rex is a friendly dog, but he loves sandwiches. He did not mean to scare you. Are you OK?" + +Anna and Ben come out from behind the tree. They are still scared, but they are also curious. They look at the dog and the lady. + +"He is your dog?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, he is," the lady says. "His name is Rex. He is a good dog, but sometimes he is naughty. Do you want to pet him?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They are brave. They go to the dog and pet him. The dog is soft and warm. He licks their hands and wags his tail. He is sorry for being naughty. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are not scared of the dog anymore. They are friends with the dog. + +"Can we share our sandwich with him?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can," the lady says. "That is very nice of you." + +Anna and Ben take out their sandwich and break it in half. They give one half to the dog and one half to the lady. They eat the other half together. They are hungry. + +The dog eats his half and thanks them with a bark. The lady eats her half and thanks them with a smile. + +They all sit under the tree and talk. They have fun. They play with the purple ball. They are happy. + +The end. +Sara loves to dress up. She has many clothes in her big box. She likes to pretend she is different animals. Today, she wants to be a brilliant bird. + +She finds a red dress and a yellow hat. She puts them on and looks in the mirror. She flaps her arms and says, "Tweet, tweet, I am a brilliant bird!" + +Her brother Tom comes in. He sees Sara and laughs. He says, "You are not a bird, you are a girl. Birds have feathers and wings, not dresses and hats." + +Sara feels sad. She says, "But I like to dress up. It is fun. You can dress up too. You can be any animal you want." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, I will dress up with you. What animal can I be?" + +Sara smiles. She says, "You can be a lion. You can roar and chase me. I have a brown coat and a yellow scarf. You can wear them and be a brilliant lion." + +Tom likes the idea. He puts on the coat and the scarf. He looks in the mirror and says, "Roar, roar, I am a brilliant lion!" + +Sara and Tom run around the room. They pretend to fly and hunt. They have a lot of fun. They are brilliant animals. +Sara liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She wanted to improve her drawing skills and make beautiful art. One day, she saw a spider on the wall of her room. She was not afraid of the spider, she was curious. She decided to draw the spider with her crayons. + +She took a piece of paper and a black crayon. She looked at the spider and tried to copy its shape. She made a circle for the body and eight lines for the legs. She was proud of her drawing, but she thought it was too simple. She wanted to add more details to make it look more real. + +She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you help me improve my drawing?" she said, showing her the paper. Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Sara. What do you want to improve?" Sara said, "I want to make the spider more organized. It has eyes and a mouth and patterns on its body, right?" Her mom said, "Yes, it does. Let me show you how to draw them." + +Her mom took another crayon and helped Sara draw two small dots for the eyes, a tiny line for the mouth, and some stripes and spots for the patterns. She also showed her how to make the legs more curved and the body more oval. Sara was amazed by the difference. Her drawing looked much more organized and realistic. She thanked her mom and said, "Wow, mom, you are a great teacher. I learned a lot from you. Now my spider looks like a real spider!" Her mom hugged her and said, "You are very welcome, Sara. You are a great artist. I love your spider!" Sara smiled and hung her drawing on the wall. She was happy with her improvement. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Magic Show". Sara wanted to go inside and see the magic, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go see the magic show!" Sara said. "It will be fun and amazing!" + +"No, Sara, I don't want to go. The magic show is spooky and dark. There might be scary things inside the tent," Ben said. He held Sara's hand and pulled her away. + +Sara was not afraid. She was curious and brave. She looked at Ben and said, "I dare you to go inside the tent with me. If you go, I will give you my candy. If you don't go, you are a chicken." + +Ben loved candy, but he hated being called a chicken. He looked at the tent and gulped. He did not want to go, but he did not want to lose the dare. He said, "Okay, Sara, I will go with you. But you have to hold my hand and stay close to me." + +Sara smiled and said, "Deal!" She took Ben's hand and led him to the tent. They paid the ticket and entered the tent. It was dark and quiet inside. They saw a stage with a curtain and a big box. On the box, there was a veil that covered something. + +Sara and Ben walked slowly to the front row. They sat on the chairs and waited for the show to start. They heard a voice that said, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the magic show! I am the great magician, and I will show you some amazing tricks. For my first trick, I will make something disappear under this veil. Are you ready?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were excited and nervous. They watched as the magician lifted the veil and revealed a big rabbit. The rabbit was white and fluffy. It looked at Sara and Ben and twitched its nose. + +The magician said, "This is my assistant, Fluffy. He is very friendly and smart. Watch as I make him disappear with a wave of my wand. One, two, three, abracadabra!" + +The magician waved his wand and said the magic word. He dropped the veil over the rabbit and the box. He counted to ten and then lifted the veil again.

They thanked the magician and left the tent. They shared their candy and their stories. They were proud of themselves for daring to see the magic show. They were glad they were friends. +Lily was sad. She had no friends to play with. She sat on the bench and looked at the big kids. They had bikes and balls and dolls. Lily wanted to have fun too. + +Then she saw a boy with a red lollipop. He smiled at her and came closer. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to be my friend?" Lily nodded. She liked his lollipop. It looked yummy. + +Ben said, "Here, you can have my lollipop. I have another one in my pocket. My mom gave me two." He gave Lily the lollipop. Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice." She licked the lollipop. It was sweet and sticky. + +Ben said, "Do you want to play with me? We can go on the slide and the swings. They are safe and fun." Lily said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You are my friend." She held his hand and they ran to the playground. + +Lily was happy. She had a friend and a lollipop. She had fun with Ben. They shared and laughed and played. Lily forgot to be sad. She was glad. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to smell the flowers and watch the bugs. Lily sees a big butterfly with many colors. She wants to catch it and show Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" she says. "I want to touch it. Come with me!" + +She runs after the butterfly, but it flies away. She follows it to the other side of the garden, where there are many herbs. She does not know what herbs are, but they smell good. She sees the butterfly land on a green herb with small purple flowers. + +"I found it, Ben!" she shouts. "It is on a green thing. Hurry, hurry!" + +Ben runs to Lily. He knows what herbs are, because his mom uses them to cook. He sees the butterfly on the herb. He also sees a big sign that says "Do not touch". + +"Lily, stop!" he says. "That is a herb. It is not for playing. It is for eating. And the sign says do not touch. We have to be careful." + +But Lily does not listen. She reaches out her hand to touch the butterfly. The butterfly flies away again. Lily touches the herb. She feels a sting on her finger. She cries out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she says. "It hurts, Ben, it hurts!" + +Ben sees that Lily has touched a nettle. A nettle is a herb that has tiny hairs that sting. He feels sorry for Lily. He takes her hand and blows on it. + +"It is okay, Lily," he says. "It will stop hurting soon. Come, let us go back to the flowers. They are nicer than the herbs. And they do not sting." + +He leads Lily back to the flowers. They sit down and look at the butterfly. It is flying over the garden, looking for another herb. Lily and Ben do not chase it anymore. They have learned their lesson. They are careful with the herbs. +Lila was a little girl who liked to play in the woods. She had many friends there, like the birds, the squirrels and the rabbits. One day, she saw a big, gray wolf lying on the ground. He looked sad and hurt. + +"Hello, wolf. Why are you sad?" Lila asked. + +"I am sad because I have no friends. And I am hurt because I stepped on a sharp rock. It hurts a lot," the wolf said. + +Lila felt sorry for the wolf. She wanted to help him. She said, "I can be your friend. And I can help you with your hurt paw. Come with me to my house. I will invite you for some soup and bread." + +The wolf was surprised. He did not think that a little girl would be so kind to him. He said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very nice. I will go with you to your house. I am grateful for your invite." + +Lila and the wolf walked to her house. Lila's mother was there. She was not afraid of the wolf. She knew that Lila was a good girl who liked to help animals. She said, "Welcome, wolf. I am glad that you are Lila's friend. Come in and have some soup and bread. You must be hungry and cold." + +The wolf smiled. He felt warm and happy. He said, "Thank you, mother. You are very kind. I am happy to be Lila's friend. And I am happy to have some soup and bread. They smell very good." + +Lila, the wolf and the mother ate the soup and bread. They talked and laughed. They became good friends. The wolf forgot his sadness and his pain. He was glad that he met Lila. He was glad that she invited him. He was glad that he had friends. +Sara was a tall girl who liked to play with her toys.

I won't touch the knife again. I love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you, too, Ben. You are a good boy. Now, let's finish the dishwasher together.

He learned a lesson. He was happy. +Sara liked to work with her dad. He was a plumber and he fixed tubes that carried water in houses. Sometimes he let Sara help him by handing him tools or holding a flashlight. Sara wanted to be a plumber like her dad when she grew up. + +One day, they went to a house that had a big problem. The water in the kitchen was dirty and smelly. Sara's dad said they had to find the broken tube and make it clean. He opened a cabinet under the sink and saw a lot of tubes. He pointed to one that was rusty and had a hole in it. He said that was the bad tube and they had to replace it with a new one. + +He asked Sara to get the new tube from the truck.

It was heavy and long. She tried to carry it back to the house, but it was hard. She stumbled and dropped the tube on the ground. It made a loud noise and rolled away. + +Sara was scared and sad. She thought she had ruined the new tube and her dad would be angry. She ran after the tube and tried to catch it. But the tube was faster and rolled down the street. Sara followed it and saw it heading towards a big hole. The hole was where some workers were digging a new road. Sara knew the tube would fall into the hole and get lost. She shouted "Stop, tube, stop!" + +But the tube did not stop. It reached the edge of the hole and flew into the air. Sara watched in horror as the tube disappeared into the hole. She thought it was gone forever. She felt like crying. + +But then, something amazing happened. The tube bounced back from the hole. It had hit a big pile of dirt and came back up.

Tom said. + +They pushed their sleds and started to slide down the hill. They felt the wind in their faces and the snow under their sleds. They laughed and shouted with joy. + +But they did not see the pitch at the bottom of the hill. The pitch was a hole in the ground where the snow had melted. It was dark and deep and icy. When they reached the pitch, their sleds went in and they fell with them. They hit the icy water and felt very cold and scared. They tried to swim and climb out, but the pitch was too slippery and steep. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +They stayed in the pitch until it was dark and they were very tired and sad.

But don't forget to wear your hat and sunscreen because it's going to be hot and uncomfortable outside." + +Lily put on her hat and sunscreen and went outside to play with her friends.
